About Paul King

After leaving school early and rising through the ranks of management accountancy within various industries, Paul discovered the benefits of working in a formally public sector monopoly focusing on employees rather than profits. This led to financial sponsorship through a part-time MBA and promotions outside finance and more into operations in the electricity sector. After managing nearly 1,000 staff members and contractors, Paul has embraced more modern ways of working (encouraged by lockdowns) and believes working from home can be a perfect solution for many.
