  Phil McDonnell

  Phil has worked in Engineering in the North East of England since 1992, predominantly in Laser & Waterjet cutting.  In 2005 he started his own Laser and Waterjet cutting company and for the next 12 years like all small companies, he was involved in many roles.

  He has a wealth of experience in the industry working with companies from many sectors and thoroughly enjoys engineering as no one day is the same as the next. One of the main things he loves about engineering is that unlike in many sectors you actually get to see and touch the end product after all the hard work.  Of course, meeting and working with all of the fantastic people in the industry helps keep a smile on his face.

  Away from the office, he has 4 wonderful children; Erin, Lucy, Ruby and Millie who all help their dad spend his free time. He enjoys DIY, movies and socialising and when he eventually gets some spare time, Phil likes to get away for adventure days out, where he has done things ranging from quad biking and clay pigeon shooting to tank driving and flying a plane.

  He was eager to be back customer facing as he was for many years in the Golf Industry. So, when the opportunity came along to work for SSC Laser it was an easy decision.

  Trust and communication are his golden rule to head in the right direction to success.

  Paul used to work as a Handyman for several years in and around his local village. During this time, as he worked locally it allowed him to become a Retained Fire Fighter for Essex Fire & Rescue where he enjoyed tremendous Teamwork & Comradery while helping to put something back into the community.

  Rugby is his passion and although his playing days are over he enjoyed coaching his 2 boys Sam & Jack at youth level for many years.
