Phil Wilson

Compliance Officer

Having left a job which I held for 12 years, I stumbled into fundraising, thinking it would do to pay the bills until I found something better. Eight years later I am still here, thoroughly enjoying my job. I started as a face-to-face fundraiser before becoming a team leader then moving to compliance. Each step of my journey has been a rewarding challenge, whether it was seeing how much I was raising for charity or giving confidence to a young fundraiser that had none.

Outside of work I do the PA for bands which has given me front row seats at some very good nights out.

British Heart Foundation, because their research is mind-blowing.
