Andy Gray – Head of Retail

I’m Andy, Head of Retail. Born in Cumbria, I grew up in the great outdoors. As a junior I was a keen fell and cross country runner representing the North of England and Cumbria. Cycling is another passion of mine and I compete in time trials across Cheshire and (much to my wife’s horror) I have 6 bikes!. Sport and fitness has always been a big part of my life and I went on to achieve BA(Hons) in Physical Education & Health Development. My aim at Pau Run and Ride is to provide the best service led team in Staffordshire and give all our running and cycling customers the best advice and tools to support their health and fitness goals. We look forward to welcoming you to our great stores!

Paul Klabou – Store Manager Blakemere

Emma Phillips - Store Manager Trentham

Hi, I'm the store manager at our Trentham store. I've been a resident of Trentham for 40 years now, and I'm a keen and passionate runner. As someone who grew up in the area and around runners, following my dad as he raced, the local community and what we can bring to it is one of my priorities. I'm a qualified endurance coach, licensed athletics official, and licensed guide runner for the blind. I also run with our local club, Stone Master Marathoners, as does my son, and I'm a keen parkrunner both running and volunteering (yes I'm a parkrun geek too, that takes part in the many challenges and am the proud owner of a tourist cowl). My focus has always been distance. I've raced from 5km up to 100 miles, but my heart will always be with the longer runs. Essentially, running is my life, and I'm always ready to offer help and support to anyone who walks through our doors, although I also dabble in bikes too now, both road and mtn.

Mat Capper - Store Manager Audlem

Hi, I'm the store manager here at Audlem.
I am a qualified running coach, personal trainer and recently became a bike mechanic.
I have a huge passion for running and fitness.
I run with the mighty Audey Striders and encourage all runners to be part of a group or club.
After 10 years of trying to get into the London ballot I am now convinced it's a government conspiracy.
I am here to offer my expertise to any of our customers and make sure you have the right equipment and knowledge to perform at your best and lead a more active lifestyle wheather that's running or cycling.
