Phil managed TCCA through a decade of significant change as critical broadband appeared on the horizon, while still maintaining a high profile for TETRA. Among many TCCA career highlights, in 2013 Phil signed the 3GPP Partnership Agreement, the formal document that made TCCA the Market Representation Partner for critical communications in 3GPP. He worked closely with ETSI to help deliver the first Mission Critical Push to Talk Plugtests™ in 2017 – these have now evolved into the MCX Plugtests.

Phil was a very special character, cheerful, charming and a good friend to many. He selflessly shared his extensive knowledge and encouraged us all to join him in the effort to achieve what he believed in, and what he persistently advocated throughout his career.

Our sincere condolences to Phil’s wife Jane, children and grandchildren, to whom he was devoted.
