Bio
Dominic Sanders
I have worked with Paul during the last four years at Martin Ward Anderson and rate him very highly. Paul is a highly motivated Director who is energetic, focused and passionate about his work and has a consistently positive outlook which is infectious to all those who work him. Through both his commercial insight and the skillful management of his staff he has been able to successful lead his business unit through the recent downturn delivering consistently high levels of revenue from his teams during this time. All this was achieved by creating a cohesive business unit that had a great team spirit, by giving everyone a real sense of purpose working towards shared goals and by instilling a winning mentality amongst his teams. As a manager Paul delivers honest feedback and sets very high standards, but in return commits himself fully to developing his staff and supporting those around him who want to develop and progress. For all these reasons I would highly recommend Paul and can say that have really enjoyed my time working with him.

I have worked with Paul for the past six years, in both his capacity as Manager and Director. His approach has always been consistent; he leads from the front, with a strong hands-on approach, whilst simultaneously providing an over arching strategy to grow a business area. He is particularly strong at providing the leadership necessary for the development of an individual’s progression. Paul’s strengths are in coaching his direct reports by way of his energetic drive, understanding the motivators of consultants and managers and in turn driving them to succeed. Paul’s inherent understanding of the market and influencing factors construed the platform for the unparalleled success that Paul’s geographical area achieved during the recent recession. If a recommendation is required for a forward thinking, professional, commercially focused, sales driven, inspirational leader – Paul is your man.
