喬弗朗西斯Cullimore:“他的熱情是傳染性”Cullimore業內有一個漫長而傳奇的職業生涯,從1980年代末開始,當他加入Xenotron渠道銷售經理。他轉移到比特流,然後Crosfield電子,然後成為英國和愛爾蘭董事總經理Purup Eskofot。隨後,Cullimore拿起的作用的副總裁Encad打印機和油墨部門業務被柯達收購之前,然後用了十年的打印和成像巨人越來越高級的角色,上升到高級副總裁兼集團企業噴墨係統部門的主席。他在2017年退出了柯達,在行業外其他項目工作。Xenotron前任首席執行官丹尼Chapchal告訴Printweek:“三十五年前當我是我們銷售和營銷人招募Xenotron首席執行官菲爾。大約一個星期後他加入我建議他應該在我們的經銷商會議做一個介紹。這是聳人聽聞的。”我問他之後立刻到我的辦公室來,我告訴他,“我剛剛目睹了一個首席執行官的”。從很小的時候我可以看到他的人去的地方。他精力充沛,他取得如此大的成就,”Chapchal回憶道。 “Phil was a wonderful chap and it’s no surprise to me that he went on to such good things.” Bob Leslie, the former co-owner of Centurfax, also commented. He said: “I first met Phil at Xenotron when he was a young raw salesperson. You could tell from day one that he was going to rise in his career, he was always smiling, approachable, knowledgeable. “At Centurfax we purchased a product line from him, a proofing system, and he was very fair and honest in his negotiations that included his good friend and fellow Tractor Boy, Mr Elmy [Martyn Elmy, who died in 2021]. I can imagine them sitting together looking down and relishing the rise of Ipswich Town FC.” Martin Fairweather, now national digital business development manager at Fujifilm's graphics wing, also had fond memories of Cullimore, and said: “He gave me my big break in sales. I was an engineer and he tapped me on my shoulder and said 'I think you've got what it takes and I'll mentor you'. His enthusiasm was contagious. This is very shocking and sad news.”
