Paul presented the Notts LTA Awards in February 2015 and later that year was the LTA Tournament Director of the WTA and ATP events at the revived Nottingham Open at the Tennis Centre. These events and subsequent Nottingham Opens were a huge success and have attracted record breaking crowds. This success was a direct result of Paul’s incredible attention to detail. From the choice of the floral displays around the grounds to monitoring in person the traffic flow out of the car parks, nothing escaped his attention. On court he delivered outstanding tennis of the highest quality and off court a top class sporting event with a great atmosphere for the spectators. He was respected by and very popular with the players and he inspired his team of enthusiastic volunteers with his leadership and professionalism.
Paul has often publicly expressed his pride in the success of the event and acknowledged the support of the people of Nottingham. In their turn the people of Nottinghamshire owe him a huge debt for a job well done and for his commitment to tennis in the county.
Nottingham will miss him.
