As an experienced business leader, Paul is currently director, shareholder, and creative strategy guide to Milligan Limited, an innovative boutique commercial property development team based in London and Barcelona.

Trained initially in Fine Art and Architecture, in 2015 Paul completed a year as a Sloan Fellow at the London Business School from which the entrepreneurial start up, CreativeTrade was launched.

Prior to joining Milligan, Paul was a leader and board member of large multinational and multi-disciplinary design consultancy, growing it’s EMEA business over 13 years. He has since 2003 sat as a Non Exec Director to a Patrizia UK Ltd. Private Equity Fund and whilst also a founding partner of  numerous new business ventures.

For Paul, a problem is just and opportunity in disguise. Driven by an infectious enthusiasm for any challenge, he is a strategic creative thinker armed with “fat pen” ideas who will always bring a fresh perspective and new intelligence and innovation to every project. His work over the years has intertwined with the graphic design world with early participation in SEGD and Cranbrook conferences as well as working alongside his partner in establishing the AIGA in South Florida.

After over 40 years in the design and property development business, Paul remains passionate about people, place and experience in architecture and urban design. His experience is wide ranging covering planning, development and design of retail, entertainment, corporate, hospitality and institutional projects. Motivated by an indefatigable determination, he cleverly bridges the divide between architecture and developer, sharing a vision and path for success of both.

Paul has lived in London for nearly 30 years with partner and two grown children and enjoys that the morning commute more often involves a cycle through the parks rather than crowded transport.
