Paul Hurrion BA (Hons), PhD : www.paulhurrion.com
| A varied and active sporting life and sports / injury related studies gave Paul the grounding to build a company (www.quintic.com) with his father providing a range of quality performance analysis software used at the highest levels in sport, health, and education across the world, and producing top class coaching CDs.
Paul specialises in biomechanical analysis using high-speed cameras, force platforms and computers and is a leading biomechanist contracted to UK Athletics, International Cricket Council (ICC), English Cricket Board, and British Diving.
His passion for golf has led to a specialism in putting analysis and advice, assisting European Tour Professionals and holding PGA accredited Putting Clinics. Through his work with Padraig Harrington, he advised Hi-Tec on the biomechanical design dynamics of their new CDT Golf Shoe. Currently, Paul heads biomechanical analysis for the ICC’s consideration of legal bowling actions.

"Simon Kerry always delivered a first class service during my competitive years... His humble yet confident attitude whilst providing movement analysis advice was always a reassuring support during my preparation.
Simon's extensive sport science background with constant quest for state of the art information, coupled with his ability to translate this into a user friendly service ready for any athlete to adopt, make him very efficient at his work.
It is a very reassuring thought when preparing for competitions such as the Olympics that you are doing everything in your control to prepare as professionally as possible. I have always found Simon's service a comprehensive one, conducted in a professional manner which gave me the reassurance I needed to know that I was leaving no stone unturned.
More recently, Simon has been working tirelessly on an extensive project (PAC) which he has been thorough and relentless in ensuring that the end product is of the highest quality.
For this and his other input, I am very grateful and would recommend his services to any sportsman or organisation requiring this type of service."
