Paul Scanlon
Paul Scanlon, founder of Game On Advisory, is a Chartered Accountant with a decade of experience in public practice accounting firms. From 2010 to 2019, he held senior executive positions at the Pakenham Racing Club as it experienced unprecedented growth for a Club of its standing. This included the relocation of its racecourse to a greenfield master planned site at a cost of $100m and the development and opening of a new gaming venue in the growth suburb of Officer. Paul played the lead role in ensuring that the Club maximized the synergies and economies of scales from operating three hospitality venues within close proximity to each other.
With a passion for ensuring businesses operate in an efficient, yet sustainable, manner he is now offering his knowledge and skills to hospitality venues who cannot afford or attract internal resources with such advanced financial and business acumen.
For the last 6 years, he has been providing management consultancy services to a select group of hospitality clients. These include Warragul Country Club, Club Hotel Warragul, Trios Sports Club and Sandown Greyhound Racing Club.
Paul is an experienced Board member and current board roles include with the Sandown Greyhound Racing Club, Greyhounds Entertainment and Queensland Greyhound Racing Club. Paul is a recent graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors program (GAICD).

Testimonials
Paul Scanlon
A person who doesn’t suffer fools, Paul’s no-nonsense approach to business and strategic management has greatly assisted R Radford & Son (Radfords) to navigate in the unpredictable and ever volatile Wholesale Meat industry.
His pragmatism when confronting and dealing with issues both financial and operational have been invaluable to my business.
Paul initially joined Radford and Son as CFO and transitioned into the CEO role and held that position for around two years whereupon he and his family relocated to Queensland.
With a good understanding of the mechanics of the Meat Industry Paul reverted to the CFO role for Radfords. Although he was working remotely, Paul readily availed himself at moment’s notice to assist in dealing with a breadth of issues involving bankers, insurers, livestock agents etc., showing the depth and wealth of experience he has on many fronts. His contribution has been greatly appreciated.
In more recent times Paul has reduced his daily involvement whilst he pursues other interests. He is an inaugural member of the Radfords Advisory Board and continues to be an active unbiased member spending around 15 to 20 hours per month on governance and other issues that pertain to Radfords.
