Before becoming a communication advisor and coach, Paul was an investigative journalist working across the UK, Australia and Dubai.
As a news reporter his coverage of notorious crime sprees such that of serial killer Peter Sutcliffe won him numerous accolades and allowed him to work closely with behavioural and forensic teams as they toiled to unravel the complexities of psychologically driven crimes.
He has spent the past 20 years using his communication skills to help major corporations and senior leadership teams build sustainable world-class personal and professional brands and grow sales. A handful of the projects he's tackled for major organisations include:

Dave became a sought-after leadership coach after a career as a fast jet fighter pilot in the elite Tornado F3 and F-15E Strike-Eagle (Top Gun) squadrons.
