He began working for a construction business in 1994 working on a range of domestic, commercial and industrial projects.

Paul was appointed as Company Secretary in 2004 and Construction Director in 2008 before leaving contracting in 2014 to concentrate on quantity surveying, commercial management and dispute resolution.
Through both his management of projects and high levels of academic and professional education, Paul has gained expert knowledge of standard forms of contract (JCT and ECC), contract and construction law and the negotiation and resolution of construction, engineering and property disputes.
