Rest in Peace Sir Paul
Paul was very supportive to so many of us in our professional roles, we are all so grateful to him, above all, I will miss the cycling stories that weaved through the everyday business and showed a glimpse of someone hopeful and living life to the full.
Paul, you are sorely missed. Thank you for all your help, professional leadership and being a great colleague.
Although I met Paul less than a handful of times, I can remember each one of them, and I recall he was always so warm and sincere. I am sure this was the same for everyone who met him. It is very sad news to hear of his passing.
It has been an absolute privilege to work alongside Paul. A wonderful and inspirational man who has been taken too soon. Sending condolences to his family.

Paul was a delight to work with and I had the pleasure across a number of years in different organisations. A kind, intelligent and charming man - much missed
Sadly I know too well the heartbreak that cancer can cause, and so I am sending my deepest sympathies to you all. I did not know Paul but it sounds like he was a wonderful man who enriched the lives of all who knew him x
Paul was an incredible and inspirational individual. I worked with him on and off for best part of 20 years and we all loved the consummate professional he was with his incredible calm manner, mischievous grin and profound kindness. Paul will continue to inspire us to be better versions of ourselves and we miss him hugely.
Thank you Paul, for your intelligence, wisdom, and grace. Our time together was short, but I learned much from it, as well as enjoyed it immensely. You will be missed, but always remembered. Dan
