Clearly, Phil Veal’s journey from engineering degree to multi-national CEO has been anything but linear. From ‘builder of things’ to ‘builder of businesses’, it was Phil’s broad skill base, questioning nature and relentless perseverance that saw his path unfold in unexpected yet incredible ways.

Phil is currently Managing Director of ForthCo and is also on the board for New Zealand Air Ambulance and Natural Habitats Landscapes.
