Phil Fanthom
Sales Director
I recently celebrated my 10th year with the Company, joining them (after travelling throughout Europe and Africa for several years) in June 1997.
I actually volunteered to work for free during my first month as I wanted to assess the recruitment industry and see whether it was the right career for me, as well as enabling CPI to evaluate what I could offer them.
From 2000 I began to focus the majority of my efforts within The City, successfully developing relationships within the Banking & Financial Services Sector - most of whom are still clients today. In May 2006, I made the move to become the Group's Sales Manager, before gaining the opportunity to return to CPI as their Sales Director from January 2008.
I have to say that recruitment is a very different industry to anything else I have ever experienced. In my opinion, it is the only job you can do where you have the ability to actually change people's lives on a daily basis. Nothing else can give that type of satisfaction (especially my golf which is completely the opposite!).
