Vancouver Luxury Hotel General Manager

Born in England, Philip started his career at The Mermaid Hotel, an old smugglers inn in Rye East Sussex, England. After three years in hotel management training, Philip joined the QE2 Luxury Cruise Liner and spent the next three years cruising the world working in one of the Queen Elizabeth's finest dining rooms.

Upon completion of his travels, Philip landed back in England and joined the prestigious Spa Hotel in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, as Assistant Manager.

Three years completed there and Philip moved to East Sussex to become part of the management team at Horsted Place Hotel and the East Sussex National Golf & Country Club. Horsted Place is consistently voted in the top ten Country House Hotels in Britain and is a favourite for opera goers at the famous Glyndebourne Opera Festival.

During his time at Horsted Place, Philip was introduced to the owners of Sherwood Inn, a double Four Diamond country inn set on Lake Joseph in the Muskoka region of Ontario, Canada and was offered the opportunity to become General Manager of the Inn. Philip has now been presiding over one of the finest teams as General Manager of this Vancouver Luxury Hotel, the Wedgewood Hotel & Spa, since 1998.

Outside of his workplace one of his other passions is Cycling, from an early age growing up in England Philip would travel all over Europe to watch many a professional cycle race including an annual trip to the Tour De France. His racing in Europe was as a Junior before embarking on his career in the luxury hotel industry.
