The great thing for me is that I get to work hands-on with colleagues in the Silverstone team and our clients, building relationships and providing solutions to the challenges they face.”

Paul is in that mould and we look forward to him providing clients with the very best of advice and playing an important role in helping to take Silverstone to the next stage in its development.”
