Founder

Phillip House is the founder of Shield Environmental which was initially established in Bristol in 1979, as Shield Insulation Services.

When Shield Insulation Services first began operations, 80% of the works were insulation and 20% asbestos removal. Within 5 years, asbestos removal became the main focus of the business as demands changed.

As Shield continues to develop, Phillip has looked at strategic avenues of growing the business and spearheaded the company’s move into new geographical locations, opening new branches in Cornwall (1987), Falmouth (1989), Devon (1990), Southampton (1998) Newcastle (2006) and London, Durham, Wales, and Birmingham in 2011.

Whilst expanding the business Phillip has maintained steady control over the group, ensuring the stability of the company for years to come.

In 2014, Phillip decided to take a step back from the daily running of Shield and became Chairman of the Board.
