Phil Walton

Phil is co-founder and Chief Executive of Sea Island Developments.

As well as driving Sea Island’s values and purpose, Phil is accountable for the company's strategic input and direction. He has a strong passion for making a tangible difference to people’s lives.

In 1974, Phil and his wife, Diane, founded RICCI, a footwear and clothing retailer. In 1984, it changed its name to McKenzie and they developed their own brand to sell in their nine retail units. JD Sports later licensed the McKenzie brand and it can now be found in over 30 countries worldwide.

Giving Alan Titchmarsh a run for his money, Phil can often be found on his allotment when he’s not socialising with friends and family.
