A proven CFO in fast expanding, multi-site businesses, Paul has over 16 years of financial experience across several sectors, most of which were backed by private equity. Prior to joining LRG in January 2020, Paul’s experience includes having spent eight years as Chief Financial Officer for Cote Restaurants and during his time there, oversaw the growth of the business from its very first restaurant to over 75 when he left.

“I have seen the business grow in my time as CFO; from roughly 160 when I started to 300 in 2024. I’ve always viewed finance as an important support function for the people on the ground making sales. But most of all, I really enjoy working with the management team at LRG.”

Since Paul joined the business, he has helped on Platinum’s acquisition in 2022, and helped oversee two refinances, plus a number of strategic acquisitions.

When he’s not working, Paul enjoys spending time with his wife and two young boys. He enjoys sport, often choosing to watch football or cricket, and enjoys time out on his bike.
