Tony Phillips

Tony Phillips founded Cloud Design Box in 2015 with a simple goal – make Microsoft 365, SharePoint and Teams work for people, not against them. Today, his company helps more than 750 schools, trusts, colleges and organisations in the public and private sector save time, cut admin and improve collaboration.

With over 18 years in education technology, Tony has seen first-hand how the right digital tools can transform collaboration. Cloud Design Box combines deep technical know-how with a people-first approach, building SharePoint intranets that are easy to adopt and deliver real results. The team is known for being friendly, approachable and always ready to go the extra mile.

Tony has taken part in the FEO 360 and FEO Step Change programmes, gaining fresh perspectives, practical tools and valuable connections with other business owners. FEO 360 provided insight, peer support and accountability in the early stages of business growth, while Step Change helped refine strategy, sharpen focus and drive sustainable scaling. The practical tools, honest feedback and shared experiences from other entrepreneurs have played a key role in shaping Cloud Design Box’s growth journey, helping Tony strengthen leadership skills, improve processes and build a clearer long-term vision for the company.
