Phillip began his career in 1978 as Project Leader for the first offshore Helium Leak Test on an offshore production platform – a pioneering application at the Frigg Field that had never previously been undertaken offshore. This landmark project marked the beginning of a distinguished career in leak detection technology.

In 1990, Phillip founded Vaseco and continues to serve as Chairman. With a clear vision to address a significant gap in the market – particularly within the Oil and Gas sector – he led the long-term development of a proprietary Vaseco leak detector.
After years of planning, design, and engineering refinement, this vision was realised with the launch of the Vaseco HD1 in 2018, followed by the HD1 Pro Plus in 2026.

Phillip has guided every stage of Vaseco’s growth and strategic development. As Chairman, he remains actively involved in the design and advancement of pioneering technologies, ensuring Vaseco continues to strengthen its position as a leading force within the Vacuum, Leak Detection, and Pressure industries.
