Phil Topham
Executive Director
Phil started working for FIEC in the role of Head of Communication, but then became our Executive Director at the start of 2019. Before taking up his position with FIEC he used to read the news for Heart FM in North Wales and has also worked as a football commentator and reporter. His most recent role was with the Anglican Church as Communication Officer for the Diocese of St Asaph.
Phil is married to Kath and they live near Market Harborough and attend ChristChurch in the town. He became a Christian in 1999 and served as an elder in his previous church – Gwersyllt Congregational just outside Wrexham.
In his spare time Phil has a worrying passion for Bolton Wanderers – so much so that he can often be spotted with his head in his hands at the Macron Stadium on a Saturday afternoon.
