Our team

Phil founded Causeway in the spring of 1999, with a vision to build software technologies that would help construction companies better manage their commercial operations.

Whilst the adoption of joined-up information technology has historically been slow in the industry, Phil believes that now more than ever, firms must digitise to remain competitive in the short term and to survive in the long term.

Through years of dedication and product investment, Phil’s vision has become a reality, with Causeway solutions now helping thousands of customers digitise their operations.

Ranked number one construction-specific software player in the UK and amongst the largest globally, Causeway is entering the next phase of exciting growth under Phil’s stewardship.
