A Summer of Luxury

Holiday with… Philip Shaw, Co-Founder, Savernake Knives

As the end of the Summer approaches, we hit the A303 with Philip Shaw, Co-founder of Savernake Knives, (and the rest of the UK!) as he heads down to Cornwall to introduce his daughter to the sea for the first time.

A Summer of Luxury  Holiday with… Philip Shaw, Co-Founder, Savernake Knives

Where will you be holidaying this year/where have you already been on holiday to – and why?

A fun weekend at El Fenn in Marrakesh for a celebration and then off to Cornwall to introduce our daughter to the sea for the very first time. I grew up in Devon so the summer would not be the same without a wind swept holiday on a beach and avoiding the world on the A303.

What is your ‘must-have’ item to pack in your suitcase?

We are renting a house, so apart from packing the kitchen sink I will always pack a good knife.

Where is your favourite al fresco drinking/dining spot?

Anywhere on a hill with a view, failing that a field in Wiltshire with a group of friends.

What is your holiday read this year?

Probably the daily papers and hopefully the Spectator and Private Eye.

Have you ever had a ‘lightbulb’ moment related to your business or career while taking some downtime?

Yes! Take more holiday.
