Meet "Team Concept" - We're here to help
Paul Bulloch – Managing Director at Concept (Connect with Paul on LinkedIn here)
Joined the Concept Team – July 2001
About Me
I’m Paul Bulloch, MD at Concept Vehicle Leasing, and one of the original founding Directors. I’m responsible for the overall operation of the business, which includes overall management of our experienced Sales, Marketing and Customer Services teams, the development of brand new industry leading products and services, and of course looking after some of our valued clients.
Previously from a Sales/Management background, I created the Concept Brand with a “fresh pair of eyes” to our industry sector. Whilst many of our systems and processes are similar to those of our competitors, I believe we’ve always maintained that fresh and innovative approach to business. I believe in excellent customer service, and am constantly looking for new ways to enhance the value and service our customers receive. I’ve created some totally unique purpose built systems to help keep Concept ahead of the competition, and to help us win and retain new clients.
I’m married to Josie Bulloch, also Service Director at Concept and we have two wonderful young children. I’m really looking forward to continuing to develop the Concept Brand with the support of my family and the rest of the Concept Team. Above all, I really enjoy everything we do and achieve!

Likes/Interests
Watching Chesterfield FC (2011 League 2 Champions!!), LOVE Formula One, can’t get enough and the whole weekend is lost when it is on! Long sunny walks, but only if there is the promise of a pub lunch at the end of it!
Favourite Car
McLaren MP3-23. However, as this is an F1 car I don’t really think this counts so instead I will have to be blindingly predictable and say Bugatti Veron (Super Sport Spec). There simply isn’t anything else that compares. However, if you ask me for a price to lease one then please forgive me when I start to laugh!!

About Me
I am a 30 something Senior Account Manager for Concept Vehicle Leasing. I am a husband to my lovely wife and father to my beautiful daughter. Born and bred in South London and am now living in leafy Surrey, I currently look after all our clients in the Southern Region of the UK and am very much looking forward to helping develop the Concept Brand!
Being of Italian descent it boggles me why I absolutely hate the heat and love the cold, but the perfect day for me is a sunny, dry but ice cold day! I hope to go on an all inclusive holiday to the North Pole next.....
Likes/Interests
I love spending time with my family, especially as I now have a young daughter who wants to constantly play! I am getting good at being a pretend shopper in her supermarket, and pretend customer in her Post Office!. I am also a keen martial artist, having been involved in martial arts since 2004, when I studied White Crane and Tiger Kungfu for 4 years. Having stopped training in those styles I am now studying Wing Tsun Kungfu and also Escrima, which is a Filipino based weapons system. All good fun and really changes your outlook on life!
I am obviously interested in all types cars and can honestly say there are only a few programmes I watch religiously, with my absolute favourite being Top Gear. I wish they filmed more than 6 episodes per series, come on BBC listen to your viewers!
Favourite Car
As a car enthusiast I have a few faves but the two that come into mind straight away are the Bugatti Veyron and the Lamborghini Reventon. Both are an amazing piece of engineering. I would love to drive the Veyron even if for only 2 minutes!. I also love the look and sound American Muscle cars and have a great fondness to the 1969 Ford Mustang, Plymouth Barracuda and the Dodge Challenger and Charger. I will one day own a muscle car.....that is my goal!
Top Driving Tune
I have a few but ones that spring to mind are: -
· “I won’t Back Down” by Tom Petty (great lyrics, great tune to drive to)
· “Down With The Sickness” by Disturbed (not usually a heavy metal fan but his tune is a great tune to drive to)
“No Easy Way Out” by Robert Tepper (who can forget Sylvester Stallone in Rocky 4 driving his Lamborghini, in the night, to this tune, after Apollo Creed died!?!)
My car
Ford Focus C Max
