Paul is the Co-Founder and Managing Director of ZMA – Paul is the driving force behind the practice with innovative ideas and a high attention to detail. Paul started his career in construction at an early age whilst still at school. By working his way up the construction ladder he was delivering multi-million pound properties by his late 20’s. Paul then co-founded ZMA with Zara who both lead the design process of each scheme by utilising his vast construction knowledge to translate the client’s requirements into a proposal which has architecture, wow-factor and buildability from day one.
