This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.
This article is a bit thin, and is missing an infobox. I work with Phil Venables and know Wikipedia editing quite well, but also know with my COI I shouldn't edit his article directly. I put together a few edit requests below, with the Wiki code following Start:.
Please add a simple infobox. Start: {{Infobox person

| birth_date =
