Who Is Paul Parkinson?

With over 20 years experience in business consulting and coaching including several years as a Senior E-Business Consultant for IBM, I have worked all over the world (UK, Europe, USA & China) helping blue-chip clients do better business online.


Viewed by many as an online marketing expert, I still own several "passive income generating” websites and partner with several small business owners throughout the UK holding minority stakes in their online and offline businesses.

These businesses are from a variety of sectors, including several creative industries, graphic design, SEO & internet marketing, property investment, business services, translation services and online training.

In addition, to running my own income generating sites, I am currently managing a government funded project helping small businesses in Lincolnshire work through this difficult current economic downturn and is employed as a Programme Manager for the Business School of Lincoln University.


I also act as a mentor/advisor to young and student entrepreneurs and am a well respected "guest lecturer" in Entrepreneurship & Enterprise at Lincoln University where my subject expertise lies in the field of e-commerce, social media and specifically starting and developing online businesses.


Why Paul is different?
I prefer not to be referred to as one of these so called online marketing “gurus” – it’s true to say that I have been there, done that and bought the T-shirt! Unlike many of these “gurus”, I do not just “talk the talk”. I have extensive experience and a proven track record in e-business consultancy. I actually “walk the walk”.

TESTIMONIALS

Dave Orrey - Director of Credible Investments Ltd


We first met Paul in early 2010 following our enquiry about the Robust Futures courses being held at Lincoln University Business School. Immediately, we felt we had a lot in common with Paul and found him very down to earth and easy to engage with. It was also very clear from the start that Paul is somewhat of an expert when it comes to starting and developing small businesses (especially on the web) but more importantly, he has a deep understanding from an entrepreneurial/business owner perspective having started and developed several of his own enterprises.

Paul got us to answer a lot of searching questions to make us look closely at our business model and operations with our plans going forward, this helped us to identify 2 key potential problems and adapt our business plan and strategy accordingly.

In an age where networking both offline and more importantly online is becoming a key part of growing a business, there’s no question Paul is very well informed and connected. He has a vast array of useful resources at his disposal to bring to the table. In addition, he is a guy who can add huge potential value to any aspiring business along with plenty of enthusiasm and encouragement. Paul is undoubtedly a good all round decent guy to have on your team.
