Paul is a genuine hospitality expert, armed with decades of hands-on experience and a passion for the industry. He has an exceptional ability to find opportunities for collaboration which add real value to all involved and always provides intelligent insight when he’s at the table. Paul is a real asset to our business, having him involved has already delivered us an enormous amount of value and I’m excited to see what the future holds for our partnership.

CEO at The British Institute of Innkeeping

Paul is passionate about the hospitality sector, its people and its rightful place at the centre of our communities. His operational expertise, absolute determination and his drive to do the right thing is valued by many. As a member of the board of the Awarding Body of the BII, he brings a commercial and forward looking approach that is greatly valued. He should also be very proud of his understated work in sourcing large scale supplies enabling key charities to deliver essential meals to the most vulnerable over recent months.

Co-Founder Limegreen Communications

I have had the pleasure of working with Paul for many years and can’t recommend him highly enough. His years of experience supporting both small business owners, so they maximise their revenues, to delivering operating strategies for plc businesses, with change management and people engagement key themes, make Paul a great asset for any company seeking top level consultant support. And I should add, he’s widely respected and liked by people at all levels of the corporate ladder, with that fine balance of authority and approahable personality.

Founder Snaffling Pig

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Paul for the last few years and I can honestly say he’s one of the most genuine and supportive chaps around. He saw an opportunity for his customers and publicans and despite Snaffling Pig being a small young brand with no track record he gave us advice and encouragement to develop a product range bang on what his customers needed. A natural leader who’s great with people. A true asset to any company he works with.

Founder & Managing Director at KAM Media

I have worked with Paul both in the capacity of him being a client of ours and as a consultant. Paul’s passion for and knowledge of the great British pub industry is second to none; his instinctive ability to understand hospitality as a whole and see opportunities that businesses can capitalise on and pick out threats to success is just one of his many skills.
Paul is one of the most genuine, honest people I have had the pleasure to work with- he is open to ideas, has a positive and progressive attitude and is humble despite his wealth of experience and connections within the channel.
I look forward to working with Paul again in the future!

I have worked with, for and alongside Paul for a long time. I have always found him a really inspirational and motivational person- one who has made me want to go above and beyond, whatever the brief.

I am constantly thinking of opportunities to collaborate with him again.

Working with Paul over the course of 2020 has been brilliant. His insight, wisdom and introductions have been hugely beneficial in supporting my business and I feel very fortunate to be working with him. Paul recognises a businesses strengths and is a fantastic cheerleader, but also is not shy to get straight to the nitty gritty of what needs to be improved, offering tangible advice that is really useful for progress and growth. A kind and generous spirit – who knows their stuff! I can’t recommend woking with Paul enough if you are looking for a trusted soundboard for your business.

Chief Customer Officer, Wireless Social

I have dealt with Paul over a number of year as he has been one of my major customers. He is an expert in his field on pubs and hospitality, and his intimate expertise has made him very successful within his sector and always acts with integrity and professionalism.
He has also taken part in a mentoring project that I have helped create to support female leaders onto boards within the UK hospitality, and the feedback from Mentees from him was fantastic: supportive, empowering and inspiring.

The World’s 50 Best and Hospitality Brands. William Reed Business Media Ltd.

Paul’s grass roots knowledge of pubs and the licensed trade is extensive. Other HQ people could take a leaf out of Paul’s notebook – a book which I am sure is stocked full of operator focussed ideas of how to improve trading. He demonstrates a rare empathy for people right across the board; his team, his pub operators, his suppliers and his media partners. In the decade I have known him he has always demonstrated an inspiring balance of being a truly nice guy whilst also focussing on strategy and results. His positive impact on the culture of an organisation extends way beyond that of just his employer.

Co-founder at Nice

I’ve gotten to know Paul over the last 6 months and could not recommend him more highly. He’s professional, honest, really cares, seems to know everyone and everything worth knowing in Food Service and is generally a top guy to work with. He goes above and beyond the realms of duty and I look forward to working together in the future.

Not many individuals can step back and develop or aid the development of long-term strategy whilst also realistically understanding the day-to-day operational challenges for a business. Over the last year our sector and business has seen the most challenging environment we have ever seen, in this times Paul’s realistic and pragmatic approach were so valuable and grounding at a time when external views with true insight were integral.
