BIOGRAPHY

Paul Savident formed his own marketing, advertising and press management company in May 2000 following four successful years as Marketing Manager for Bill Kenwright Limited.

Initially the company primarily worked within the theatre industry but in recent years it has seen its client base expand to include personal press management and the development, management, production and representation of events, private clients and consumer product.

Recent project work includes Cliff Richard (personal/live performance), several personal private clients, the launch of BritishLocalHistory.com, Brocket Hall Foods Ltd, BritishTheatre.com, the launch of ‘moaning website’ MyMoans.com (April 2009) and the development of a number of new musicals including Waiting For The Dawn and Promised Land from original concepts by Geoff M Preston.

As a theatre producer Paul is a Director of Cloud Ten Productions, which presents The Fall & Rise of Lenny Smallman, which has been formed to produce new and innovative scripts for theatre, television and cross-media.  Skeletons and A Good Place For Fishing, both by Richard Lumsden, are currently in development for presentation on television and stage.
