About Paul

Hi there, welcome and thanks for your interest.

My career has spanned multiple roles across local government and broadcasting sectors.

I’ve held announcing, station and programme operations management roles in commercial radio. In local government my roles have covered libraries electronic services, web development, social media management, destination city marketing and city events.

A common theme across many roles has been quickly embracing and understanding new technology, then implementing creative solutions using this technology to improve customer services and experience.

At present I work in a marketing role for a local authority. I develop and implement campaigns that promote the facilities, services and regulatory functions offered to customers. I work across online, social, on-air and print channels.

I enjoy cycling, gardening and walking. My hobbies include amateur ‘ham’ radio, low power FM broadcasting and several retro computing technologies. I also help out with the month to month administration and maintenance of several community group websites.
