PAUL BARKER (AJP), 46, MANAGING DIRECTOR OF TUUM UK, ESSEX
What made you want to get into your profession?
I was inspired by my brother-in-law, who was an antiques expert in the Netherlands. From the age of 10, I began to see the world of luxury with fine clocks, watches and jewellery which totally fascinated me. So, when I left school I went to London and started my role as a sales assistant in a jewellery store then worked my way up through the jewellery trade.
