Kenneth R. H. Jeppesen
Phil Gray han been working for me in the past 3 years as CFO at Verdo Renewables Ltd.. Unfortunately Verdo has decided to close our subsidiary in the United Kingdom making Phil redundant in a few months time. I can give Phil my very best recommendation. Phil is a skilled CFO. Besides running the finance department he practically took care of the entire office in Verdo Renewables, a company importing, bagging and selling solid bio-fuels. Phil is a great leader and manager of his employees. When Phil took over his current job there was a huge task of cleaning up; not just the book keeping but also the business processes and logistics. Phil fast established an overview and got things smoothened out so we could focus on the business. Besides understanding the number Phils understands the business hence making him very valueable in a management position where he can participate ind developing the business and not just keeping the books. Phil single-handedly took care of our banks in UK, auditors and authorities in UK. A job done to perfection. If You are looking for a CFO / Finance Manager / Administration Maneger or like I would strongly recommend Phil. Kenneth R. H. Jeppesen Group CFO at Verdo
Darren Webster
As a project manager for Prysmian PowerLink Srl, I worked with Phil for over 14 years. We worked together on many projects in different locations around the world, from Asia, to Australia, to the Middle East. With his ability to consistently present accurate financial information in a clear and concise way, Phil remained a distinguished asset to our organization. I, personally, shall always be grateful for the considerable support he provided me as leader of the project team. Not only did he manage the financial aspects of the project, but he also took a keen interest in the non-financial complexities. As such, he was able to tackle his work with a broader view of the project needs. Phil is a conscientious, diligent, loyal, well-organized, and good-humored person who always gives his best to the task at hand. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Phil and highly recommend him to any future employer.
