Philip Hopton

Account Executive

After graduating from Lancaster University in 2006 with an English Literature degree, I took a month long trip round Canada before hitting the job trail hard. After a few varied rejections (I think I would have made a good garden turf salesman) I wound up at a regional press sales house working first in recruitment, then display, motors, and finally property where Space and Time were one of my biggest clients. In March 2008 it was a case of gamekeeper turned poacher as i made the switch from selling to buying with Space and Time Manchester. I much prefer it so far!

I'm currently looking to move out of home, I just can't carry on living in a single room with this much stuff - I need a house to put it all in! Saving for this is looking like a problem as my music collection continues to magically grow! Outside of work I play loads of squash and cricket (badly in both cases) and read a ridiculous amount - I have a target of 50 books this year (I'm not a loser honest!). Otherwise I'm a regular fixture at Blackburn Rovers where I'm habitually frustrated most Saturdays!
