Creative Navigator Milligan Retail, London

For Paul, a problem is just an opportunity in disguise. Driven by an infectious enthusiasm for any challenge, he is a creative yet strategic thinker armed with ‘fat pen’ ideas who will bring a fresh perspective and new intelligence to every project.

After 30 years in the industry, Paul remains passionate about architecture, design and innovation. His experience is wide-ranging covering the planning, development and design of retail, entertainment, corporate, hospitality, institutional and education projects, not to mention the odd contemporary tree house. Motivated by indefatigable determination, he crosses the divide between architect and developer, providing a vision for both and a route for success.

In 2003 Paul left as MD and Senior VP of RTKL UK, a US architectural practice with one of the strongest track records in retail development, to explore broader creative possibilities and to engage with the premise ‘why not’. With Milligan, the commercial retail developer, he interprets creative ramblings and unstructured thoughts into something architects can understand.

Paul has lived in London for the past 20 years with his partner and two children, and enjoys the fact that his morning commute now more often involves a bicycle than a crowded train.
