Re: MIKE PHILLIPS (CWE - HORSEFERRY HOUSE)

Such sad news. Mike was my first boss when i transferred up to Horseferry House on promotion to CWT from South Wales. I found Mike to be a true gentleman who always had time to talk with his colleagues. He could be relied upon to give you guidance on existing work especially when any "sensitive ...
