Dear Angela and family of Paul,As a member of one of the sector groups for which Paul worked with heart and soul, I would like to wish you much sympathy and support in the loss of your dear husband and father. Paul will remain in my memories as a warm, sweet and positive man who never complained about what happened to him and with whom you never saw his inner pain and sadness because of the fact that he realised that sooner or later he would have to leave you. I will remember him often as a jovial and pleasant person and from now on he will certainly be remembered in a warm and tender way every future 15th of November (our common birth day). Much support and strength and know that Paul will always remain in my memories.   …

My sincere condolences to the Dornan family. Paul was an inspiration to us all at Anthesis. His no-fuss approach to life, allied with his courage, humility, modesty and great humour, set him apart. We marvelled at his resilience through his illness, and the commitment that he made to all, resulted in him being a hugely dependable and valued colleague. Paul’s character was a manifestation of his incredible personal values and spirit.  And to honour and celebrate his contribution as a friend and a colleague, we look forward to receiving nominations during Spring 2022 for ‘The Paul Dornan Award‘, which will be made annually to an Anthesian who demonstrates the same values and spirit as Paul did, in their work and interactions with clients and colleagues. Paul will be greatly missed. With best wishes, Brad   …

Dear Angela and Family, My deepest symphaty in this difficult time for you. I miss Paul already, he was just so easy to talk to, ask advice from, have a laugh with. I remember the first time we met in person, he greated me with a big hug, his warmth was always palpable and ready to share. So typical of him, he called me just a few weeks ago to welcome me back after my mat leave and I am so grateful he did and I had a final chance to spend a little time chatting with him. He certainly set the standard of the Paul Dornan award incredibly high…never met anyone who have faced difficulties with such inexhaustible and invincible courage and grace.  Best wishes,  Pearl  …

Dear Angela and family The first time I met Paul was in Bristol at the Christmas party shortly after he started with Anthesis and I remember thinking it was great to have him onboard as a new colleague. I did not have much overlap with him working on his main client, EPRA, but we did work on a few small projects together and interacted in the Sustainable Chemistry biweekly team calls. I was felt we saw the real Paul – pragmatic, good humoured and a family man. It was lovely to see and hear his enthusiasm at becoming a grandfather and to hear of your campervan trips for long weekends! His approach and attitude to work and life never waned throughout: it was an honour to have known Paul. My thoughts are with you all at this time. …

I had the pleasure of working with Paul throughout his time in Anthesis.  He was always very approachable and happy to help out with any piece of work, however large or small.  Paul approached his work with great positivity and always a little dash of humour.  He was always great company whenever we had the opportunity to meet up in person.  Even during the last few months it was almost ‘business as usual’ and he obviously faced his challenges with great fortitude.  A lovely colleague, he will be greatly missed. …

Dear Angela and Family of Paul Dornan, please accept my deepest condolence for the loss of Paul. I am honored to have had him as a mentor and get to know his great and positive spirit over the past 15 months. Paul was always ready to help and guide me whenever needed. He was a great colleague and an even greater person to work with. He will be truly missed!   …

I had the pleasure of undertaking a two-day audit with Paul a few years back. The audit was tedious, but Paul made the experience enjoyable and entertaining.  Paul had a wealth of experience and was more than happy to share his knowledge and expertise to help me. We both went out for dinner and a few pints and I remember having some great discussions and getting some great advice from Paul.  My thoughts are with you all   …

Dear Angela, and family. My deepest sympathies to you all at this difficult time. In recent weeks Paul talked with excitement about his role as a grandparent, and the arrival of his latest grandchild. He shared how the next generation inspired him, and how important it was to him in his work. His loss will leave a gap in our Anthesis family and we will remember him fondly as an inspiration, with a warm and generous nature, who always had a good word to say about everything.  …

My deepest sympathies on Paul’s passing. His positive attitude, professionalism and humour were an inspiration to all his colleagues here at Anthesis. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. …

My abiding memory of Paul is his cheerfulness and humour. Over dinner and drinks a few weeks ago he was full of life and energised everyone around. I will share a wee dram with his memory tonight. …
