Philip was an accomplished Civil Engineer, whose career
in Hong Kong started with the early days of the MTR and
spanned to the latest round of railway extensions—the
Express Rail Link to China, until his retirement in 2014.

Outside of his professional life, Philip was distinguished
by the contribution he made to clubs and institutions in
Hong Kong, including the early mini rugby scene, the
WAGS golf society, the International College of Hong Kong,
and of course, for his very significant contribution to the
development of Hebe Haven Yacht Club.
Philip joined the Club in 1992, was the Rear Commodore of Club Development
Committee in 2000, he subsequently became Vice Commodore before becoming
Commodore from 2005 until 2007. He worked a “double shift” to act as the Club’s
project manager for the marina and hard standing projects and later for the Garden Bar
extension. Since passing on the Commodore’s baton to Mark Haughton, Philip continued
to support various committees up until only a few months ago.
Philip’s yacht, Countess of Cathay, a Countess 33, was fitted out by his brother-in-law
in the UK and shipped to Hong Kong in 1990. The Countess was a regular to many of
the cruiser and passage races locally, twice making the South China Sea Race. She
competed in numerous Macau and Round the Island Races.
Philip was known for his generous, gregarious and direct ‘Yorkshire’ approach to life
and for his self-effacing and friendly manner. He was awarded the accolade of Life
Membership in 2014 and will be sadly missed by the Club and all who knew him.
A memorial and celebration of Philip’s life was held on Friday 21 August at the HHYC
Garden Bar—attended by all those who had the pleasure of knowing Philip.
Kind Regards,
Mark Ashton
Commodore
