Founder of the site and former chief, Paul is a smart home enthusiast who has more voice assistants in his house than people. Paul launched Wareable in 2014, after working for a variety of the UK's biggest and best consumer tech publications including Pocket-lint, Forbes, Electric Pig, Tech Digest, What Laptop and T3. Prior to founding Wareable, and subsequently The Ambient, he was the senior editor of MSN Tech and has written for a range of publications. Paul is a self-confessed geek and has been accused of being both an Apple 'fanboy' and a Google 'fandroid' - so at least you know that his bias is balanced. Paul, along with James Stables, turned Wareable into the Wareable Media Group when they launched sister site The Ambient, back in 2018. In mid-2019 they added a third site to the portfolio when Get Sweat Go was launched and, in 2023, the company was acquired by Candr Media Group, of Trusted Reviews fame.
