Phil Jones - Sales and Marketing Director, Brother UK

Promoted to Brother's board at the age of 35 as the youngest ever executive director in its global operations, Phil is responsible for over £105M of sales annually in one of the most competitive marketplaces in Europe. Winner of OPI magazine's European Young Professional of the Year award in 2008, Phil has risen through the ranks of a major Japanese corporation right the way to the executive board.

He joined Brother in his mid 20s as a fax salesman in the South East and proceeded to work his way up through the organisation, being appointed a non-executive director at 32. Phil's current role is to create and deploy the sales and marketing strategies that will help Brother achieve its ambitious growth targets in a fiercely competitive sector where prices erode every year.
