Business Career
Phil Spencer was the original founder of Garrington Home Finders Ltd, a property search company he created in 1996. In 2008, Garrington was affected by the sharp down-turn in the property market and Spencer was forced to look at how to address the effect this had on his business. As a result the country property search part of the business was sold via a management buyout. Through this sale Garrington Country Ltd was formed and operated alongside Garrington Home Finders Ltd.
However, the continuing fall in housing transactions forced Spencer to take the final decision to conclude Garrington Home Finders Ltd and went into administration. At this point Garrington Country Ltd then purchased full rights to the intellectual property and some assets of the old business and has carried on trading throughout the UK.

Famous quotes containing the words business and/or career:
“I cannot be indifferent to the assassination of a member of my profession, We should be obliged to shut up business if we, the Kings, were to consider the assassination of Kings as of no consequence at all.”
—Edward VII (1841–1910)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
