I always use the ' character, which needs to be entered twice.

If I use the " character, it only needs to be entered once.

Which version of Excel are you using?

For getting the double quote character in any formula in excel you
have to show each occurrence of the double quote as "" , i.e you have
to repeat it twice.
So now your formula will have to be rewritten as:

=B1&C1&"""Phrase in quotes"""
