Meet Paul
Paul began his career in finance and banking almost 20 years ago, and with a short detour into the world of sports and fitness, has been in the Financial Services sector for over 14 years. Prior to becoming self-employed in 2016, he was a Senior Mortgage & Protection Adviser working for a national network of estate agents for 7 years.
He now has a large network of clients nationwide built mainly through word of mouth referrals, and also by working with local estate agents, accountants and other professionals.
In his spare time, Paul has always enjoyed keeping fit and has completed marathon distance races in the past. He challenged himself to compete in the Ironman UK in Bolton in his 40th year, 2021, which he completed in 12 hours 13 minutes, and qualified for the World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. He beat his time from Bolton by 1 hour 15 minutes, and completed the course in grueling conditions in 10 hours 58 minutes. Next stop was the 70.3 in Lahti, Finland for the 70.3 Ironman World Championships in 2023, and he has just completed the Bolton 70.3 2024, finishing 4th in his age group and qualifying for the World Championships for a 3rd time.
