Paul was born in Royston on 8th January 1958 and remained in the area until his early 30s. He spent the next 30 years in Monmouthshire, South Wales before returning to his birth town in 2019. Having qualified as a mental health nurse in 1981 he gained experience in working for both the NHS and independent sector. In 1987 he joined Partnerships in Care and spent several years working at Kneesworth House, Royston. After some time in Lampeter during his university years, the urge to return to the welsh hills was met in 1992 when he was given the opportunity to help set up the newly bought Llanarth Court near Abergavenny as Senior Nurse. During his time there he worked his way up to Director of Nursing, then Director of Clinical Services, and then Regional Director of Clinical Governance. He was involved in the opening of Abbey House in Malvern, which in turn led him to become Hospital Director for the service. In 2013 he joined the corporate compliance team which enabled him to put all his years of experience and his font of knowledge to great use, particularly when the new company, Elysium Healthcare was formed. Paul was an intelligent, kind and generous character who would always willingly help others; a true gentleman. His stories were brilliant and his comments were comical. His love of reading was evident; he most certainly knew his history! He enjoyed gardening and on occasions cooking his own produce. Paul lived for work and for his dogs - you would rarely see him without his beloved pet and loyal companion Lola, and before her the adorable Sally. Paul sadly passed away in September 2020 at the age of 62. He is survived by his Mother, Pam, his Step-Father, Jack and his spaniel, Lola. He will be sorely missed by all those that knew him. Time may pass and fade away but these memories of him will always stay. May he rest in peace.
