Mr George, 59, who was previously a managing partner at Birkett Long solicitors, succeeds Simon Fanshawe and will be Kent Blaxill’s second non-family chairman.

Managing director Simon Blaxill said: “Phillip, with his extensive business experience and commercial legal skills, is the ideal person to take Kent Blaxill forward in the next decade. We were looking for someone who could provide a balance between family and business interests.”
Mr George is currently also a non-executive director of Essex Cares, and holds senior positions in a number of charitable and sporting organisations.
