Phil Baxter 1967 - 2013 http://http://www.cvp.com/phil/
It is with deepest sadness that we share the news today that Phil Baxter, the owner (alongside his wife Alison) and CEO of CVP, passed away suddenly on Wednesday 4th September.
Phil leaves behind a company that has gone from strength to strength since he started it in 1986. In recent years the company has grown to over 90 staff in six locations with a turnover of £55m. Phil's desire for CVP to be the leading supplier of broadcast products and solutions, resulted in him creating the industries most comprehensive and informative website, a highly skilled service orientated workforce and most recently Iris, the only industry magazine that is written by technology users.
As Phil would have wished, it is business as usual, and everyone at CVP is committed to the continuation of his vision.
Our thoughts are with Alison and their daughters, Hannah and Chloe, at this difficult time.
Phil had wanted to get involved with Make a Wish Foundation in order to give poorly children the chance to get a ride in his fantastic cars. We know that he would be truly happy to see donations to go to this cause. To make a donation, please visit https://www.justgiving.com/phil-baxter. Alison, Hannah and Chloe would like all donations to go to the Make A Wish Foundation.
Thank you all for condolences, they are very much appreciated by his family and all his staff at CVP. We've been overwhelmed by the support we've received.
I met Phil through David Tibbetts sales director at Rybrook dealer he was my 1st McLaren 12c customer and took the photo of me working on his car. Sad news RIP
