About Paul

Paul spent most of his career in Financial Services, including working at the Prudential, Lloyds Private Bank and Schroders Personal Wealth and as a business co-owner of the Calder Group. Paul has experience in devising, implementing and delivering local business plans, including revenue income and cost budgets. He has qualified as a Chartered Financial Planner and is an associate of the Personal Finance Society.

Paul has been involved with Demelza for over 25 years and, during that time, has been a volunteer involved mainly in collecting cheques from organisations that had successfully raised funds. Following that, his team at Lloyds Banking Group regularly used their “Day to make a difference” by distributing collection boxes, garden maintenance and painting in support of Demelza. More recently, Paul was a Charity Ambassador for Schroders Personal Wealth, who supported Demelza’s Grate Descent in 2021 as a main sponsor.

Paul is married with two children and, being a FA qualified coach and Chairman of a local football club, will be found most weekends on a touchline somewhere in Kent!
