A dyslexic kid from Birmingham’s working-class heartland, Professor Paul Cadman built a business empire that put over £100 million into motion — and 30,000 people into work. From flying cars to grassroots football, from ethical newsrooms to life-saving charities, his reach defies category. A two-time doctor, global advisor, martial artist, and boardroom disruptor, he turns barriers into fuel. Paul Cadman’s life’s work is driven by one aim: to widen the path for those who come next.
Paul Cadman built companies not to dominate, but to empower. His ventures are rooted in second chances — creating opportunity where others saw risk, and backing people long before they believed in themselves. Thousands have stepped into work through the doors he opened, often for the first time.
Paul Cadman has never outgrown the city that raised him. From the College of Food to university boardrooms, he’s helped reimagine education as something accessible, applied, and unafraid of ambition. His success is welded to his origins — not in spite of them, but because of them.
Paul Cadman gives quietly but with force. He has raised millions for frontline causes — from children’s hospices to veterans’ housing, from clean water to grassroots football. His influence stretches across continents, but his commitment remains local, human, and personal.
Paul Cadman is not animated by wealth or title. He is animated by change. He moves between industries and institutions with the same clarity of purpose: to make business more generous, leadership more human, and the future more open than the past ever was.
