About Paul Phillips:

Paul Phillips is head of motorsport for the Isle of Man Government’s Department for Enterprise and promoter of the Isle of Man TT Races. He leads the strategic direction, promotion and commercial development of the TT, working with race organizers, industry partners and stakeholders to protect and develop one of the world’s most distinctive motorsport events and strengthen its position on the international stage.

Born and raised on the Isle of Man, Phillips was appointed TT and Motorsport Development Manager in 2006, ahead of the event’s centenary. Over the past two decades, he has played a central role in the TT’s evolution, from strengthening its race program and attracting leading riders and teams to developing its commercial partnerships, media proposition and international audience. In 2022, the launch of the TT’s own streaming platform, TT+, brought live coverage of qualifying and racing to viewers around the world for the first time, significantly expanding the event’s ability to reach and engage audiences beyond the Island.

First held in 1907, the TT today takes place on the 37.73-mile Mountain Course, using public roads that run through towns and villages and across the Island’s mountain section. It attracts visitors and audiences from around the world and plays an important role in the Isle of Man’s visitor economy and international profile.

Phillips’ focus today is on shaping the long-term strategic direction of the TT and ensuring its future success: protecting what makes the event unique while positioning it for sustainable global growth. This includes improving safety, strengthening the sporting and competitive proposition, developing a resilient commercial model, broadening the TT’s international audience and deepening engagement with fans around the world. Central to that work is ensuring the TT continues to deliver value for the Island and the communities that host it, while creating new opportunities for fans and partners and realizing the wider global potential of one of motorsport’s most recognizable events.
