The Pyjama Team
Phil Murphy
Group Managing Director
British born, Phil Murphy is a highly regarded events leader in Hong Kong, having moved to the city in 1993.
Phil has directed and implemented event strategies and advised major clients across the music, sports, arts, F&B, technology and community sectors with Pyjama becoming a leading supplier for services across an incredible array of Hong Kong’s most important events.
Initially working and eventually owning bars, restaurants and clubs, all iconic for their day, Phil’s bar nurtured the DJs who went on to form Clockenflap Festival, with them bringing him along for the ride to head their F&B and along with it a change of Phil’s focus to events.
It is this drive which has seen him organically grow an independent company – now in its eleventh year – of empowered and dedicated team players, a company with one of the lowest turnover rates in the industry, with ambitions to grow further and take on new and exciting challenges.
Phil is a graduate of Urban Estate Surveying from Nottingham Trent University. He speaks fluent English and after three years of lessons continues to develop and improve his Cantonese skills.
