Paul began his career in the professional golf sector as a greenkeeping apprentice on the Royal & Ancient (R&A) Greenkeeping Scholarship programme. This led to a job on the greenkeeping support team at Wentworth Golf Club, The KLM Dutch Open in the Netherlands, and several Open Championships. Paul says: “It doesn’t matter whether it’s a golf course or homes in our communities, the focus on creating attractive outdoor spaces is exactly the same. “My aim is to create outdoor spaces which everyone can enjoy, that are accessible, useable and well-presented, and to make sure customers get a great experience. “I will be working very closely with our contractors to ensure we deliver.”
