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:
“Actually, if my business was legitimate, I would deduct a substantial percentage for depreciation of my body.
Contemplative and bookish men must of necessitie be more quarrelsome than others, because they contend not about matter of fact, nor can determine their controversies by any certain witnesses, nor judges. But as long as they goe towards peace, that is Truth, it is no matter which way.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
