During his five years there, Paul served as a volunteer helping the community of Rugby.

In his role of manager, he would, along side his colleagues, raise money for local charities, such as Guide Dogs and the local Hospice.

Paul also spent several years as a funeral manager in the Province of Alberta, Canada, where he learnt different aspects of Funeral Services.

Now settled in Honiton, Paul continues his volunteering role and in addition to being a member of the Chamber he supports the local community as a member of the Otter Valley Rotary Club and as a Special Constable in the local police force.
