After twenty years in the furniture business and the sudden ill health of his mentor and father Noel, Paul had a change of consciousness about his life, purpose and legacy. In 2000, he established The European Nature Trust with a focus on environmental and educational projects in Scotland and Romania.

In 2003, he purchased Alladale Wilderness Reserve in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, which is now the focus of a pioneering re-wilding and ecotourism initiative. Paul is also a trustee of Foundation Conservation Carpathia.

With Paul at the helm, TENT is expanding its remit and impact across Europe through travel, film and events. Never taking a day off, Paul’s unwavering mission is to connect both people and businesses to nature through an ever-increasing number of international environmental projects.
