Paul became Chief Executive for Consortium in April 2011 and has over 18 years’ experience working in the LGBT+ voluntary sector.  Paul leads on the strategic direction of the organisation working with the staff team, board and Members to ensure Consortium stays community focussed and LGBT+ issues are listened to by a range of stakeholders, including Government and the wider voluntary sector.

Paul’s background is within community development and he has a passion for connecting communities together and giving people space to share their collective knowledge and experience.

In his spare time Paul is a bit of a DIY / renovating geek and loves taking a blank canvas of a room and turning it into liveable space, with a hint of craziness thrown in for good measure (and much to the eye rolling of his partner Jack!). He lives in Nottingham, but during non Covid times(!) loves to explore as much of the world as possible!
