- Biography
- Philip’s working life started with 4 years in the contracts branch of the UK’s National Coal Board. This was followed by 15 years in the Tax Inspectorate where he received technical training in accounts analysis and the legal aspects of self-assessment. Dealing with high net worth individuals, particularly those working out of the Lloyds of London insurance market, Philip developed an interest in the question of equity in society and why businesses class taxation as an expense rather than a distribution of success.
- Philip arrived in Korea in 2002, with the intention of staying just one year, but developed an interest in Korean society that spurred him to write an MA dissertation on the local education system.
He remains interested in economic development, globalization, corporate social responsibility, chocolate and swimming.
