Hard on the heels of launching our ambitious new plans to grow fivefold in five years, we’re delighted to announce another significant appointment to boost CP’s already strong leadership line-up.

Phil Erridge recently joined as Chief Operating Officer after 16 years with HSBC where he led HSBC’s global wholesale model management and delivery function.

Phil brings experience of taking on a number of significant senior roles with HSBC. These include leading the integration of the global Wholesale COO organisation, the creation of a data-led customer experience and sales function. And managing the Commercial Bank’s financial crime risk function globally.

Phil is passionate about developing organisational capabilities; using a powerful blend of data, technology and collective team effort to continually develop all the operating elements of the business to enhance “how we do” what we do.

All of which hits the right notes at CP as we’re driving growth across new and existing opportunities and markets following significant recent investment from Waterland Private Equity.

Working alongside CEO Ade Cheatham and CP’s Leadership Team, Phil will lead the firm’s integration activities across several strategic acquisitions and drive operational efficiency.

SPEAKING ABOUT PHIL’S APPOINTMENT, ADE SAID:

“I’m delighted to welcome Phil to the CP family. His role as COO will be invaluable as we target significant and ambitious growth over the next five years. And now with substantial PE investment behind us, having someone with Phil’s global breadth of experience and can-do attitude is both timely and terrific.”

ON JOINING COOPER PARRY, PHIL ADDED:

“What attracted me to CP was the both the culture of the business and its desire to continually improve and challenge the market. For me, this mindset is hugely exciting as it provides an environment to do great things. I’ve watched with interest the growth of Cooper Parry and I’m thrilled to be joining at a time of significant growth and massive change.”
