Phil’s career began in the UK Special Forces, aged 19 (the youngest in history). He retired from the military and entered the blockchain space in 2014. His expertise in operational planning and execution skills, is underpinned by his experience in elite military operational planning. Phil has developed end-to-end cryptocurrency operational procedures and policies based on his intricate working knowledge of cryptocurrency mining facilities. He has devised innovative new approaches and techniques in mining, often in response to technical challenges or driven by the constant aim of improving efficiencies. He is able to deliver turnkey crypto mining operations with relative ease.
Phil took an unheard-of new entity to a significant player within the crypto mining space within North America. In only a few years he grew the company from start-up to over 70,000 servers and over 200Mw, making it one of the larger cryptocurrency miners at that time. With this began Phil’s passion to design, build and operate mining farms. Thus SABRE56 was born.

Alex is an expert data-comms engineer who has specialized in large-scale cryptocurrency mining data centres. His huge amount of real-world, hands-on engineering experience in mining at scale and very large mining farms, is held by few in the industry. He intrinsically understands the nuances, interdependencies, and intricacies of running tens of thousands of high-performance mining rigs in harmony and over prolonged life-cycles and in adverse weather conditions.
Alex ensures ultra-streamlined mining operations and optimal hashing up time, with as low as reasonably possible hashing down-time. He maximizes all aspects of hashing and data interface with the blockchain to ensure absolutely maximized returns, balancing optimized hashing performance with healthcare and longevity of equipment. S56 believe in a ‘prevention, not cure’ approach to hardware maintenance.
