PTO Egypt Phil Jones SWPP CEO


Meet a very generous man, Phil Jones, Chief Executive Officer of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers, SWPP for short.
Our good friend, Gurwinder Soor, from http://www.eastwestphotography.com/ recommended we join SWPP a couple of years ago. We did, and learned a lot. This year's conference in Hammersmith was a massive success, with over 12.000 delegates attending.
Imagine our delight when we heard that Phil Jones, together with his wife and business partner Juliet Jones, were attending PTO in Egypt. there had been no chance to spend time with Phil in Hammersmith, occupied as he was with organising one of the biggest photo conferences in the world.
But here he was in Egypt, temporarily in a wheelchair because of an injury he sustained while organising the conference in Hammersmith.
I can tell you that Phil is one of the most generous guys in the business when it comes to sharing ideas and techniques. We spent the morning together, and he updated us on the latest business information.
We truly believe that if you are making a significant outlay in your wedding or portrait investment, you should seriously consider booking a photographer who has taken the time and commitment, both personal and financial, to update his or her expertise and professional development.
We left Phil and Juliet Jones planning next year's SWPP conference, to be held again in the Novotel Hammersmith - and packing their bags for WPPi in Vegas.
Bon voyage and thanks to you both.
