Giles Phillips
I have worked within the recruitment industry for almost 9 years. Previously I worked within media sales for Chiltern Radio (now Heart FM), Anglia Television & Carlton Communications, where I learnt how to follow the sales process from beginning to end.
Having worked in media for over 12 years I decided to change industry sector. Recruitment was certainly a baptism of fire and I quickly learned that results were all dependant on activity levels. This was a great apprenticeship for me and taught me how to deal with the many issues that can occur along the recruitment process!
I joined Aaron Wallis in 2008 to start up the Finance Division of Aaron Wallis.
Living in Mid-Bedfordshire with my wife and 2 daughters I like spending any available spare time playing golf at a nearby course where fortunately Aaron Wallis sponsor one of the holes. This has given me the opportunity to lower my handicap significantly!
Other than golf I spend my spare time ferrying my kids around the local area to tennis and performing arts, which are their 2 favourite pastimes. I am also a governor of my eldest daughter’s school.
Part of the Aaron Wallis ethos is to try and maintain good fitness levels, so aside from various physical challenges we set aside during the year, I try and tick over by running a minimum of 20k every week to help keep my weight in check, which is a constant battle!!! Being an early bird I like to do this first thing in the morning before I start work as it helps me arrive in the office with a positive frame of mind for the day ahead.
