He is a popular and respected Toastmaster at weddings, Masonic Ladies Festivals and bar mitzvahs. In addition to his local work, he officiated at the launch of a Panamax vessel in Marseille, and has worked in British, French, German, Japanese and Singapore embassies and consulates both here and abroad. He was as happy working in Hong Kong as he was in Florida and Jersey. His schedule of events continues to involve him with many celebrities and dignitaries in the West End and the City of London as well as locally. His work can take him from local town halls to Park Lane hotels and from school gyms to the House of Commons.

He said recently about his work" I love the buzz of a successful celebration and enjoy the challenge of making an event special for the organisers and guests. That could mean seeing the enjoyment of charity organiser raising thousands of pounds or of a Bride and groom on their special day".

Paul, 51, started his career as a Toastmaster because it let him combine previous hobbies of acting, running a Youth Drama Group and being a solo chorister. Married to Liz, a physiotherapist, they live in Great Missenden with their 3 children Harry, George and Anna.
