Phil Rundle
Director

In 2002 Phil Rundle had built up an international career in electronics sales. In 2003, with CSJ sales rising, he joined Ceri full-time in the dog food business, bringing a new commercial perspective to the company.

Phil encouraged CSJ to adopt a marketing model that lets the product do the talking.
“We say that our best sales people are the dogs themselves”.

Phil likes to keep a low profile on the internet. However, with the rise and rise of CSJ, he accepts that a small presence on the web is a sign of the brand’s success.
