Colin Phillips established the Skills School Together business 6 years ago. He is from (born and bred) Harpurhey. Before setting up the business he worked for Manchester City Council and also with FC United football club doing outreach work in the North Manchester area bringing communities and young people together through sport and engaging them in sporting activities.

Worked for Manchester City Council with the following schools; North Manchester School for boys, Our Lady's RC school, St Matthews, MCA.

Due to funding cuts within the local authority, I wanted to continue the work I had been doing and continue to provide young people a chance to gain football coaching qualifications and also to keep them engaged giving them something do and aspire to. Also to teach morals and values enabling them to respect their community.​
