Biography

37-year-old Paul started his career aged 18, doing telesales (badly) at the Banbury Cake newspaper in Oxfordshire. Then he joined the Daventry Express in Northamptonshire and trained to be a newspaper reporter.

In 1996 he kicked off a long radio career in GWR Group (now Global Radio), working for several stations including Northants 96 in Northampton, Mercia FM in Coventry, Horizon Radio in Milton Keynes, Hereward FM in Peterborough and Q103 in Cambridge. Paul started as a newsreader and presenter and finished as regional programme controller, responsible for on-air output.

Finally, Paul worked as group editorial content manager for the digital publishing arm of newspaper giant Johnston Press before setting up Publicity Heaven and becoming a PR expert.

He is now an Associate Member of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR).

Paul was born in Solihull and now lives in Northamptonshire with his wife, daughter, and cat The Hoff.

He doesn’t do sport – in any way – but loves photography and movies… and annoying the neighbours with his drum kit.
