Phil, CEO and founder of Philco, known as Phil from Philco, is no stranger to challenges. Phil’s life has been a truly remarkable rags-to-riches story.

Phil wasn’t born into the property market and only started investing inbricks and mortar in 1974. The first half of his working life was spent inthe fashion and the cosmetic industry.

After leaving school at age 15, Phil departed England’s shores in search of a sunnier life. He sailed into Sydney Harbour on a blue-sky day in 1960 with just £10 in his pocket and a burning ambition to make a difference.

A chance encounter led to Phil joining a US cosmetics companyin the late 1960’s eventually heading its Singapore and the then new Japanese businesses. After five years spent in the east looking after the corporation’s interests he was elevated to vice-president of the giant US company and became a member of the board.

Since Phil’s passion for property investment developed 35 years ago it has never waned.

His passion, enthusiasm a willingness to learn and the ability to take action have since helped him build wealth and security for many Australians.

His Message

The Philco Goal:

Philco’s future

Philco believes that Australia’s superannuation rules provide a  way forward for people of all incomes to grow assets without dipping into their weekly incomes and putting stress on the household budget. As Phil says:

While people battle from day to day, or while they are sleeping, they can own something that’s growing in value and will be a foundation stone of their future retirements.

For those who are unsure about property investment, Phil makes his point:

Ninety per cent of the world’s millionaires owe their wealth to real estate.
