Patrick Johnson
Trading & Business Development, GROW® Group
Name
Patrick ‘Paddy’ Johnson
Background
Paddy studied anthropology before embarking on a career across headhunting, broking and sales in the alcohol, commodities & renewable energy industries. Paddy also embarked on his own adventure expeditions and holds a world record for crossing the Atlantic as a crew of four in a pedalo, raising over £250,000 for a mental health charity in the process.
Motivation
“I enjoy debunking stigma, asking questions of society, proving an argument (without arguing) and empowering people to achieve what they aim to. I wanted to put some of my sales skills to good use and contribute towards changing perceptions of a widely misunderstood plant. Cannabis reform is something that has always interested me and I truly believe that GROW’s professional attitude is exactly what is required if we are going to see greater access for patients.”
Investors can talk to me about:
Cannabis procurement & trading, the GROW investment opportunity, what we do here at GROW, how we’re different, who we’re helping and how we fit in.
