Jones takes the top prize at IoD awards

Phil Jones, Sales and Marketing Director of Brother UK, has won the accolade of Director of the Year at the North West Institute of Director (IoD) Awards.

The event was held at the Hilton Hotel, Manchester and the award comes as recognition of Phil’s 15 years' spearheading Brother’s UK subsidiary and after delivering another profitable performance despite the economy and challenging market conditions.

The finalists were narrowed down from 160 entries from directors across the North West region, following an in-depth interview process led by search and intelligence company Armstrong Craven.

Phil Jones, said, “To be recognised by the IoD as North West Director of the Year is a fantastic honour, but I couldn’t win this prize without all the great people who work with me at Brother UK and its many business partners, they make me look good.”

Brother UK recently reported a 21 per cent increase in pre-tax profits. This was driven thanks to growing demand for its award-winning line-up of colour laser printers and A3 inkjet printers.
