He is loved and trusted by his team and his customer alike and delivers a level of customer service that is rewarded with people travelling from all over the country to have their car serviced and maintained by his service department. He is a keen golfer and huge football fan taking his son to most of Brighton and Hove Albion’s’ home matches.

Anything he doesn’t know about Bentley isn’t worth knowing but is always happy to learn something new if needs be. A devout family man, Paul has family values running through him and that’s what makes him such a popular figure. He has been there at some of the biggest moments in our history and will continue to be so.
