PHILLIPS
COLLECTION
ORIGIN/EVOLUTION: This firm was
started by Larry and Shirley Phillips,
who had spent three decades running
a dress-manufacturing business before
starting the Phillips Collection in
1983. “That year, they shifted gears
and started doing what they loved—
buying beautiful antique Asian art
they found on their travels near their
Hong Kong-based dress factory,” says
their son, Mark Phillips, who is now
the company’s top executive. Phillips Collection has since diversified
into sourcing unique furnishings and
accessories from around the globe.
It employs 35 at its headquarters/
distribution center in High Point, N.C.,
and also has showrooms in High Point
and Las Vegas.

“EMPLOYEES TODAY DON’T HAVE THE SAME SENSE
OF LOYALTY AND TENURE AS BEFORE. FAMILY DOES.
AND THAT IS OUR CROWN JEWEL.” —Mark Phillips

PLUSSES OF FAMILY OWNERSHIP:
Phillips, president and ceo; his wife,
Julie Phillips, vice president; and their
children, Jessica Phillips Penn, vice
president, hospitality, and Jason Phillips, vice president, creative director.
“For me, knowing our key people are
family gives me great comfort. I fully
understand their capabilities.”

Jessica Phillips Penn and
Jason Phillips.
—Mark Phillips
“I sometimes pull
paternal rank—a very small price
to pay for the level of talent I get.
Employees today don’t have the
same sense of loyalty and tenure as
before. Family does. And that is our
crown jewel.” —Mark Phillips
“SECRET SAUCE” FOR SUCCESS:
8
“We have a diversified portfolio of not
only products but markets that we
move into. With any success story,
there is a bit of luck, but it’s knowing
how and when to strike that has
helped us reach new plateaus.”
—Mark Phillips
