Paul is sports mad. Tennis, skiing, cricket, golf… you name it, he plays it! Needless to say, Paul is pretty competitive, but also manages to be very laid back. He is happiest socialising with his friends from various clubs, particularly if that socialising involves a pint of beer, a glass of Rioja or a plate of curry!
A keen traveller, he has a particular fondness for the big cities of Europe, but his dream holiday is to visit South Africa. Another passion of Paul’s is military history, he likes reading a lot about the subject and combine it with his travel passion to visit battlefield sites.
