I have known and worked with Paul for 34 years. It was a pleasure to have worked on some challenging projects with Paul. His drive and enthusiasm was infectious. Although hard working and a determination to succeed he would always inject some good humour to keep things in balance. I worked closely with Paul as a business partner during the last four years. During that time we had many a chat about lots of topics. He was always very generous with his knowledge. I will miss his advice and wisdom but most of all his friendship. Although he worked hard and was very focused on the task at hand, conversation would always include mention of Di and his family including his beloved grandchildren. We will all miss you Paul.

Shocked and saddened when Di told me the news, I'll particularly miss the "putting the world to rights" chats over a coffee while squeezing in a joke or two!! Andy Williams

Paul was a truly inspiring man, extremely knowledgeable, very kind and always professional. I learnt a lot from Paul in my time working with him over the past 34 years, he was a great business partner and a dear friend. I shall miss you buddy. Jon Burden
