Starting from his humble beginnings in a council estate in Barnsley, Paul had six different jobs before starting his own business at 19. Initially, this business was dismantling buses for scrap metal and evolved into exporting engines and parts. One of his companies also became the largest distributor of buses in the UK.

​

After years in the vehicle industry, Paul moved into property development. These developments were mostly built in enterprise zones, which were set up to encourage people to invest in run down areas in Salford, Rotherham, Wakefield, Sheffield and London Docklands. This grew rapidly to include various leisure complexes, containing the first out-of-town cinema, along with the first out-of-town office parks and ultimately, he founded the first ever out-of-town shopping mall, Meadowhall. Having sold this development in Sheffield in 1999 for £1.17 billion, encompassing 350 shops with over 30 million visitors per year, he confirmed his position as one of the biggest UK real estate players.

In the late 1990s Paul moved into the internet industry, setting up Planet Online, which was at the time the largest internet service provider in the business market, which he later sold for £125m.
