Testimonials
Dr Christopher Bridges
Senior Manager (Knowledge Transfer) at Nottingham Trent University
…a relationship stretching back 15 years as a lecturer with Nottingham Trent University … a dynamic “ideas man” who wanted to develop aspects of university life (particularly a proposal that the institution create a “Director of Sport” post that would enable it to devote the necessary resources to sport and leisure to differentiate the offer to students from that of other, rival universities),
After Paul’s initial suggestion, it fell to me to coordinate the activities which would justify the creation of the Sport and Leisure post, a period during which I relied heavily on Paul due to his in depth understanding of the professional and leisure sports worlds and his ability to communicate the vision for the new department.
I used Paul as a source of strategic direction, management and administrative structures and ultimately a “wise head” when it came to making an appointment …subsequent to this, I began to work with Paul on the ACMMT project, which was borne out his experience of 20 years of professional elite performance sports coaching.
I was deeply impressed by Paul’s ability to drive for success, overcoming significant hurdles and showing a tenacity that must be borne of an amazing drive and belief in the quality of what ACMMT can offer.
Paul has demonstrated an outstanding ability to gain credibility with senior sports managers and business people across the globe (Thailand, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, and Dubai), creating numerous opportunities for sound business revenues
He has a very varied background, ranging from Head of Sports Science at the university to Visiting lecturer at the School of Sports Medicine, Nottingham School of medicine …his lecturing experience means that he is unique in being able to lecture in Sport Science at both Bachelors & Masters level, whilst understanding the business of sport. …I have always found Paul to act in an honest and ethical manner and to show considerable loyalty.
