Lee Phillips is a fitness professional, firefighter, athlete and model based in London, UK.
After joining the fire service Lee began competing in firefighter fitness competitions. He has traveled all over the World representing the British National Team at the World Firefighter Games, Firefighter Combat Challenge and Toughest Firefighter Alive competitions.

Lee has also been involved with raising money for a number of firefighter and other charities in the UK and the US like William Wood Watches www.williamwoodwatches.com which uses old British fire service helmets and hoses to make some of their watches. Must see!
In September 2011 he and two friends purchased an old British fire engine and shipped it to New York for the ten-year anniversary of 9/11. They then drove the fire engine across the States to Los Angeles raising money along the way before donating the engine to a small town in Nicaragua where it was put back into service to protect the local community.
While working in London Lee was spotted by television presenter and producer Andi Peters and joined Andi Peters Models where he has since become a successful fashion and fitness model.
