More About Philip Beale
One of Philip’s most renowned accomplishments is his pioneering work with replica ancient sailing ships, where he has sailed over 30 thousand miles, more than any living or historical sailors, taking charge of ancient-type vessels. His driving force is the desire to comprehend how ancient civilizations migrated through trans-oceanic voyages.
From his trans-Indian Ocean voyage in an Indonesian double outrigger ship (2003-04) to his most recent voyage in 2019, crossing the Atlantic in a replica Phoenician galley, Philip has continuously pushed himself to the limits of endurance. He has faced dangers such as navigating pirate-infested waters around Somalia in 2009 and battling 40 knot winds with a torn mainsail off the Cape of Good Hope.
Philip served as a seamanship officer in the Royal Navy before joining Robert Fleming & Co (now JP Morgan) in 1987, progressing to become a Director in 1993. He later assumed the position of Chief Executive of Morley Pooled Pensions in 2000, a £4 billion pooled pension asset management business owned by Aviva.
