How It Started

In 1982, Philip’s was studying for his PhD in history. To support himself, he started a small part-time gardening business.

By 1989, it became a franchise. Today, Philip’s Group operates across three countries, offering dozens of services for homes and businesses.

Philip’s remains CEO and is actively involved in customer support and franchise operations.
