Fleet mourns the loss of founding member Philip Tebbatt

The whole Fleet family is deeply saddened by the sudden passing of our dear friend and colleague, Philip Tebbatt, our Chief Legal & Compliance Officer and one of the original founding members of Fleet Mortgages.

From Fleet’s founding in 2014, Philip has been an enormous presence, and was instrumental in shaping our business and culture into what it has become today.

During this time, he offered legal counsel with wisdom and wit. We simply could not have built Fleet without him.

He was highly respected within our industry and in a world that often divides, Philip brought people together. He was a beloved, larger-than-life character, a man of charisma and principles, a true gentleman.  

We are all still coming to terms with this shocking news, as are the many business partners with whom he formed such close relationships with over the years.

Philip will be sorely missed by everyone here at Fleet, and our thoughts and condolences go out to his family and friends during this difficult time.

Damian Thompson, CEO
