Paul's role will focus on introducing and promoting Milestone's community and sports based initiatives to key stakeholders in relevant marketplaces both nationally and internationally. 

Paul has represented England internationally, starting his football career at Charlton and also played for Celtic, Aston Villa, Chelsea and the Italian side, Pisa.

Paul currently sits on the Diversity and Inclusion Board for LOCOG, the Board of Trustees for the Professional Footballers Association (PFA) and is a Board member for the UEFA Football committee as well as being a Special Adviser for the Equality and Human Rights commission (EHRC) on equality and diversity in football, nationally and internationally.

In 2003, Paul was awarded an MBE for his services to youth football and anti-racism initiatives and followed this up in 2012 with the awarding of a CBE for services to equality and diversity in football. Paul is the first black player in football history to receive this award, which is also the highest honour to ever have been received by any footballer from the Premier League era.

Deborah White, CEO commented:

"Paul has been supporting the Company for over 12 months, in particular assisting with the delivery of our OnSide product to the football industry within the community. We are delighted that he has agreed to join us as our CSR Ambassador. We believe that there is considerable value in collaborating with key partners to create products that solve business problems whilst also creating a positive social impact.
