We were very sorry to hear of Colin’s passing. Colin managed the Women’s senior team at Whitley Bay FC and we had a great few years with him from around 2008. Everything ran like clockwork and the team was very successful, all down to Colin’s coaching and organisational skills and his love of the game.

All of us at Fraser and Fraser are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our former colleague, Colin Phillips.
Following his distinguished service with the police, Colin joined our team and worked with us for over nine years. He brought with him the same integrity, calm judgement and sense of duty that had marked his policing career, and he quickly became a trusted and much-respected member of staff. Those who worked alongside him will remember his quiet humour and unfailing professionalism.
We extend our sincere condolences to Colin’s family and friends at this difficult time. He will be fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of working with him.
