Phil Osborn

After remaining in the profession for a couple of years after qualifying, Phil moved to the commercial sector for 10 years, acting as a financial director for companies within the construction industry.

During that time he built up alongside his main role, a sizeable portfolio of private clients, so much so that this led him to go it alone with his own practice in 1988. He successfully operated in Brentwood High Street for almost 25 years, before joining Buckley Watson in 2012, with the initial intention of facilitating his retirement.

However, with no sign of that happening just yet, Phil continues to look after his portfolio of clients together with his daughter Kelly, also with Buckley Watson, and today retains a great many of his clients who have remained with him for more than 30 years.

Somewhat of a sports and fitness fanatic well into his forties, his main interests outside of business remain of a sporting nature, predominantly now as a spectator both professional and amateur, although he does partake in the gentle pursuit of bowls!
