Quick Fire Interview with Paul Sutcliffe

We are welcoming Paul Sutcliffe to our busy sales office this week. We caught up with him for a quick-fire interview to find out a bit more about him.

 

How do you start your day in the office?  

Preferably with a cup of tea and 10 minutes contemplation about the day ahead. I like to acknowledge everyone in the office and start up some dialogue and conversations – then focus on getting my work space up and running for the day ahead.

Tea or Coffee (and how do you take it?)

Tea and/or Coffee, white without sugar. 

 

How long have you been in sales?

Over twenty years.

 

What excites you about joining the Bradbury team?

The profile of the company and the challenge ahead. It is a successful family run business but recognises the need to establish new markets and opportunities to ensure a bright future for all concerned. You can’t sit on your laurels in business - you must forge ahead.

 

What your biggest motivator?

Winning and doing a good job.

 

What do you like doing in your spare time?

Generally keeping fit and active if possible. Two wheels are a key focus of mine, consisting mainly of cycling both on and off road. When I’m feeling lazy I will switch to the motorcycle. I take part in football games when I can and spend time sailing.

 

Given a chance, who would you like to be for a day?

Valentino Rossi (The Doctor) – a legend, icon, superstar, multi-millionaire and one of the greatest motor sport talents in the world. He’s a brand in his own right. If given the choice of a day – Mugello on race day.

 

What’s the one thing the team at Bradbury needs to know about you?

That I am very focused but approachable and open. Please feel free to ask any questions – after all there are no daft questions only daft answers.

 

What’s the last thing you do in the office when you are winding down for the day?

I like to take 10 minutes out to reflect on the day and potentially identify any loose ends to roll over to the next day. As with the start of the day, close down the work space and hopefully leave everything in ship shape for the next day.
