He maintains a close interest in global events. For his sins, he is recognised as a chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons expert having studied these subjects as part of his first degree and masters degree and spent many hours in what were lovingly referred to as "noddy suits" with respirator (not called a gas mask!) on. It probably helped that his late father ran a hospital laboratory were as a youth he spent many hours watching him work and flicking through his biological science publications.
Philip now runs his own media company, Grey Hare Media, that specialises in delivering informed content. Between the Army and this, he was a sales and marketing director for a large cast steel manufacturer, learning about business, setting the conditions for over £100m of business, and then managing director and editor in chief of a B2B Security focused print and online publication. He keynote speaks across the globe on Terrorism, Cyber Security, Information and Disinformation, leadership and mental health, as well as global security issues.
Whilst serving with the British Army for over 26 years and leaving as a Colonel, he was fortunate to command some fascinating units including 1 Military Intelligence Battalion. At the time it had unique intelligence feeds for an Army unit and had a specialist counterintelligence capability capable of identifying and monitoring hostile intelligence agencies and other organisations as well as having an integrated strategic intelligence capability. It was during that time, as a military planner and intelligence officer, he was involved in operations across the globe and in particular was part of the team that brought peace to modern Bosnia and in the Southern Balkans, in Kosovo. Elsewhere he has served operationally in Germany during the Cold War, Northern Ireland, Cyprus, Northern Macedonia, Croatia and Iraq. As well as being awarded the MBE in 1996 he has also been formally commended on operations.
