Why the Philippines?

Offshoring to the Philippines has become increasingly attractive for companies worldwide due to several key advantages. Firstly, the Philippines boasts a large pool of highly educated, English-speaking professionals. With a literacy rate exceeding 95% and English as one of the official languages, Filipino workers possess strong communication skills, making them well-suited for various roles. This linguistic compatibility significantly reduces language barriers, leading to smoother business operations and enhanced customer satisfaction.

Moreover, the Philippines has established itself as a prominent outsourcing destination with a robust infrastructure supporting various industries, including business process outsourcing (BPO), information technology (IT), and healthcare services. The country's modern telecommunications infrastructure, reliable internet connectivity, and advanced technology hubs in major cities like Manila and Cebu provide a conducive environment for offshore operations. Furthermore, the government has been proactive in promoting digitalization and improving infrastructure, further enhancing the attractiveness of the Philippines as an offshoring destination.

Lastly, cultural compatibility and a strong work ethic significantly enhance the Philippines' appeal for offshoring. Filipino workers are renowned for their adaptability, resilience, and dedication. They are experienced in collaborating with diverse cultures and managing different time zones, making them invaluable assets for multinational companies with global operations. The strong work ethic ingrained in Filipino culture often translates into high levels of loyalty and commitment to their employers. This cultural alignment fosters strong relationships between offshore teams and their counterparts, promoting seamless collaboration and enhanced productivity across borders. Overall, the Philippines stands out as a compelling offshoring destination due to its skilled workforce, cost-effectiveness, robust infrastructure, and cultural compatibility, enabling companies to optimize their operations and maintain a competitive edge in the global marketplace.

Previously, I co-founded Pinoy Auto Trader, which was acquired by Sulit.com.ph (OLX/Naspers) in 2013. Originally from Liverpool, UK, I studied at the University of Leeds and moved to the Philippines in 2008. Outside of work, I enjoy playing tennis, staying fit, and spending time with my children.

I arrived in the Philippines in 2009, initially working with an NGO focused on business development and operations. This experience led to the creation of Pinoy Auto Trader, which was acquired by OLX in 2013. Since then, my primary focus has been scaling AutoDeal, particularly in business development, sales, and marketing. Recently, I’ve started making angel investments in promising startups in the Philippines. Originally from Birmingham, UK, I studied Psychology at the University of Lancashire. In my spare time, I enjoy hitting the gym, walking my two dogs, and watching sci-fi movies.
