Phil oversees the day-to-day running of the business, manages the team and identifies new ways to support people struggling to get a fair start into work. 

In his early 20s, Phil developed agoraphobia and was unable to hold down a steady job. This was until an understanding employer invested in him and supported him at work.

Phil is now on a mission to play forward this support and help others to fulfil their potential and overcome their challenges.  

Maggie founded Supplytrain to help employers better understand the financial benefits of employing and training young people. She ia now a non-executive director, providing strategic advice and challenging the staff to keep to its purpose.

Starting work in the 70s, as the first female accounts trainee in an office full of men, Maggie has sometimes had to fight to be heard. But she’s learnt that work can build confidence and resilience and give you skills to cope with the challenges that life throws at you.
