His background in live broadcasting and journalism gives him strong practical insight into how leaders, spokespersons, and public-facing professionals can communicate clearly, confidently, and credibly under pressure.

Public sources show that Paul has built a substantial career in broadcasting in the UK, including work with the BBC and earlier roles across Key 103, Sky TV, and Granada TV. Trade reporting also notes that he had been broadcasting on Manchester breakfast shows for almost 30 years by the time he joined BBC Radio Manchester in 2018, reinforcing the depth and longevity of his experience in live media environments.

A training brochure describing his background states that Paul has more than twenty years’ experience in presenting and broadcast journalism and has also spent ten years as a university lecturer and media skills coach.
