Bio
Neil Roberts
Paul worked directly for me as a Financial Analyst for c2 years when progressing through the Commercial Finance team at Sky. Paul is smart and switched on. He was excellent in role. He thrived on tackling new challenges and the mental challenge of complex problems. But also performing highly in his core areas of responsibility. He maintains a high standard of professionalism and ethics are important to him always. Paul has determination to succeed and the intelligence to go with it. He worked with a smile and enjoyed working with colleagues across the business. Establishing strong relationships with stakeholders. He has subsequently, and not surprisingly, progressed to Head of Finance and I continue to hear only positive things about him.
