Chairman of Hull City Football Club until October 2009, Paul Duffen was instrumental in steering the club to their first season in the top flight of English football in 104 years. Under his stewardship, Hull City were transformed from Championship relegation contenders to Premier League table toppers – in the kind of boys’ own tale that is increasingly rarely seen in modern football. Consummate in the art of communication, Paul is currently looking to establish a position for himself in the football media. He has recently been seen bringing colour and boardroom expertise to topical football panels such as The Monday Night Football Club on Radio 5 Live. Passionate about sport and business, Paul is also fluent in French, German and Italian.
