Passionate about building diverse high performing communities

After more than 12 incredible years, I have left Phaidon International! No words will ever describe the journey, and I am forever grateful and thankful to everyone I have worked alongside - internally and externally! I’ve said this a lot in my time but I truly believe Phaidon is the best recruitment business on the planet - an unrivalled organic growth story with some truly special people working there. It's been a pleasure growing with the business from ~50 to ~1800 and I’m leaving with the best memories. I have far too many people to thank along the way (you know who you are), but the most important one is my wife who got the train up with me to my first interview back in November of 2011. I simply couldn't have done any of this without you. A huge amount of appreciation to those for reaching out with all your kind words from all around the world! New contact details below.

Oh, Paul! that"s a bit a surprise.... I will never forget my first time in the office for my interview and you passed by asking me if I was ok. Then we chatted a bit, didn't know you were the C.E.O. at that time, I only thought how nice the ppl were in the office :) It was great working with you and I wish you all the best for whatever the future is holding for you.
