The GTC was shocked and saddened to hear the news that Phil Baxter, CEO of CVP (former sponsors of the GTC) had passed away suddenly on Wednesday 4 September.
Phil leaves behind a company that has gone from strength to strength since he started it in 1986. In recent years the company has grown to over 90 staff in six locations with a turnover of £55m. As well as contact through the GTC during the time when CVP were a sponsor company, many members will have met and dealt with Phil over the years as a customer or maybe at a trade show or exhibition.
The GTC extends sympathy to Phil's wife Alison, daughters Hannah and Chloe, as well as employees of CVP at this very difficult time.
