He divides his time between MEN Media's head office in Manchester and his home in London.

Prior to joining GMG, Paul was Technology and Operations Director for nearly two years at Pod1 London, the UK’s fastest growing creative digital agency, renowned for its innovative and successful e-commerce websites for the high street fashion industry.
