Yorkshire Business On The Spot: Paul Broadie on marathon Royal Mail shifts and his Hollywood hero
Every week, The Yorkshire Post asks a notable local business person about their background interest and hobbies. This week, it's the turn of Paul Broadie of Manto Films.
What was your first job? Royal Mail sorting office, sorting mountains of letters into boxes for 12-hour shifts.
What's your ideal day away from the office? Morning cinema on my own, lunch with my wife, walk with my dog, pub quiz with my wife and kids.
Name one person you would like to have dinner with and why? Paul Newman is my absolute hero so it would have to be him. I love him as an actor and he set up a huge global business which he never took any profit from. Hero.
What are your hobbies? Watching films, running, playing golf (badly), baking bread and making stuff with wood.
What would you do if you won the lottery? Do lots of travelling, make some films and give most of it away. Having that much money would be too stressful and there’s much better uses for it than what I would spend it on.
