Philip Cox was born and raised in the UK seaside city of Southend on Sea, which lies forty miles east of London.

After graduating from High School, he began a career in UK Banking and Financial Services, and spent the next decades working his way through the ranks, finally becoming a Branch Manager of a major UK bank.
