In 1994 he established The Brass Band Heritage Trust to “preserve the past, promote the present and foster the future” of the brass band movement in Britain. As part of its support for young brass players the BBHT managed the National Youth Brass Band Championships for six years. Since 1990, Paul has commissioned through BBC Radio 3 and the BBHT over thirty new works for brass band, including a number of major contest pieces.
