Reginald M. Phillips
Reginald Moses Phillips, CBE, Hon LL.D. (1888–1977) was an English businessman, philanthropist and philatelist, who donated his comprehensive 46 volume collection of British Victorian stamps to the nation where it forms the centrepiece of what is now The British Postal Museum & Archive.〔(RM Phillips Collection ), British Postal Museum & Archive, 2013. Retrieved 19 July 2013.〕
Having achieved success as a businessman Philips returned to his childhood hobby of stamp collecting in his fifties. He then set about assembling the most complete collection of Victorian stamps and meticulously cataloguing it. Upon his death at the age of 90 he donated the collection to the nation together with £50.000 for its upkeep. During his life he also made donations to help with the education of deaf children.〔(Mr. Reginald M. Phillips CBE Hon LL.D. (1888-1977) ), Sussex Deaf History, 24 March 2010. Retrieved 19 July 2013.

Phillips also instituted the Phillips Gold Medal for postage stamp design which has been awarded since 1969.
