Paul Kutchera MBA
Paul set up his first proper business the day before he left school – before then he dabbled in trading computers, when his family emigrated to Australia. He has spent all his career working in the SME entrepreneurial sector, either running his own business or working with others where he has taken on the FD role. He has a degree in Finance and Accounting and an MBA from Warwick University.
In 2003 he was part of a BIMBO of a well-known large London Nightclub, which was subsequently sold to a PLC. In 2013, with his wife Emma, he joined property franchise Platinum Property Partners and has developed a successful property business. He now acts as the business mentor to others within the franchise and has developed this role into a consultancy for other business owners.
Paul loves the “nuts and bolts” of business, has obtained vital experience of dealing with corporate and property transactions and has a practical understanding on the issues involved in company acquisitions.
