 Speakers


Phil Kirby; Chief Executive, Broadland District CouncilPhil Kirby

Phil Kirby began his career with Hertsmere Borough Council (Hertfordshire) as a trainee following an induction programme into local government. After completing the programme he specialised in planning and obtained an honours degree in Urban and Regional Planning at Coventry (Lanchester) Polytechnic. Returning to the Council he worked in an area development control team until moving to Oadby and Wigston Borough Council (Leicestershire) expanding his remit to include local plan work. In 1988, Phil joined Shepway District Council (Kent) just at the time construction work was beginning on the Channel Tunnel, and was heavily involved in the Rank Organisation’s proposals to construct a Holiday Village in Lyminge Forest.

In 1996 he moved to Broadland District Council in Norfolk where he has held a number of Director posts overseeing primarily all the external facing services of the Council. Over the past few years he has been heavily involved in planning for the growth of the greater Norwich area, including the eco-community at Rackheath, and oversaw the production of the Broadland, Norwich and South Norfolk Joint Core Strategy, one of the first multi-council spatial plans in the country. In October 2011 Phil took on his next challenge as the Council’s Chief Executive, where he leads a team of some 280 staff and is responsible for an annual budget of around £12m a year. He is now steering the Council through the period of austerity, demonstrating that  by working collaboratively it is still possible to provide cost effective services in a responsive way. He is maintaining a focus on delivering the planned growth in Broadland, conscious of the district’s accolade as being the most peaceful local authority area in the UK. Phil is also the district council representative on the Norfolk Resilience Forum a multi-agency body preparing the county for times of emergency, which he currently chairs.

In 2008/9 Phil was President of the Planning Officers Society and is currently a Director of POS Enterprises, the trading arm of the Society. He is also a Director of Broadland Growth Limited, a joint venture company set up by the Council to build new homes in the district.
