Bio

Paul is married with two children and enjoys most sports, especially football (both playing and as a coach to his sons’ teams) and road cycling (or on the Peleton in the winter months!). Most weekends involve some form of sport, either participating or watching either his kids rugby or Aston Villa – both have their ups and downs! Before setting up Beech Tree Private Equity with Andy in October 2014, Paul was Head of the Birmingham office of Gresham Private Equity and a member of the Gresham board. Paul has been involved in corporate finance for 25 years. Paul leads the technology sector at Beech Tree, alongside Adam. It’s an exciting area with technology transforming all aspects of our business and personal lives, so to be at the forefront of this change is amazing. Paul sits on the boards of Ancoris, Performanta, Redstor and RS Connect. Prior to working in private equity, Paul worked for a number of years in the corporate finance department for PricewaterhouseCoopers advising on a number of transactions including MBOs, public to privates and development capital deals. Paul was also seconded to Bridgepoint Capital.
