Paul started his career as a research scientist at Bass, in Burton, before moving on to to be head of the UK communication team for Molson Coors.
For the past ten years he has been the honorary secretary to the All-Party Parliamentary Beer Group. He is a trustee of the Licensed Trade Charity and a member of the Pubwatch national committee.

“I am very much looking forward to working with the SIBA team to build on this success story, and ensure UK beer lovers can enjoy the widest range of independently brewed British beers.”
Chairman of SIBA, Richard Naisby, said “We welcome Paul to SIBA’s board and executive, confident that he brings many years of valuable experience and undiminished drive which will greatly enhance our work, to the benefit of our members, the associates, and independent brewers of the UK.”
