About Paul Matthews
Paul is the day-to-day point of contact for journalists enquiring about anything to do with Unilever PLC. He is also responsible for shining a light on the company's innovation expertise at its two major research and development centres in the UK.
Paul worked as a journalist on a regional and then national newspaper for five years, before joining a leading PR agency in 2005 where he represented a range of international travel clients. If one move to the "dark side" wasn't enough, three years later he crossed another media divide, taking the in-house role as Unilever press officer for the UK & Ireland.
His time is split between the free Ben & Jerry's scoopshop at Unilever's marketing and sales headquarters in Leatherhead, Surrey, and its global head office in Blackfriars, London.

Flip is a communications specialist, having worked for an internationally respected public relations agency before joining Unilever in 2009.
When not at work he enjoys spending time with his wife and son, as well as running, cycling and playing field hockey. He appreciates good food, especially when it is complemented with a glass of fine wine.
