The impact of Phillips Foods' entry into the retail sector was enormous, causing an explosive rise in annual sales. In 1996, the year the company began selling its crab cakes to retailers, Phillips Foods posted $7 million in sales, a figure that excluded revenue generated by Phillips Seafood Restaurants, the restaurant arm of the Phillips enterprise. During the ensuing five years, the company's revenue volume swelled by nearly 1,000 percent, eclipsing $130 million in 2001. As the company's involvement in the retail sector increased, it looked toward expanding its line of value-added products, or those products whose sale price--their value--was increased by applying manufacturing processes to a raw material. Crab cakes, for instance, commanded a higher price than raw crab. By the beginning of the 21st century, Phillips Foods' roster of value-added products included crab and spinach dip, crab cakes, and crab slammers, which were a mixture of crabmeat, cream cheese, and spices.

It sounds like Fiona is drinking the koolaid. mills lashes out at the same media that bumped the Prime Minister so they could have some riviting tv. She complains about privacy and then destroys the privacy of her daughter and ex-husband. That’s why people dislike her, because she is a hypocrite. If you want to treated a certain way, act that way.

Phillips took the scenic route into the media. She grew up on the south coast, her father a TV repairman who fixed Dora Bryan's television (a childhood highlight for Phillips) before working his way up to area manager. He was so devastated by her unplanned arrival (she was a honeymoon baby) that he didn't turn up at the christening. "I was brought up with my dad saying: 'Don't ever get married, don't ever have children; birthdays - we don't want to celebrate them.' That was Dad's mantra." He was a miserable git? "Yeah, but in a funny way, a really healthy cynical look on life.
