Born on 21 February 1959 as Paula Anne Vennells,[1][2] she grew up in Denton, Lancashire.[3] Having won a funded place, she was educated at the Manchester High School for Girls, an all-girls private school in Manchester.[3] She then studied Russian, French and economics at the University of Bradford, graduating in 1981 with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree.[1][4][5]
Career
Vennells began her career as a graduate trainee at Unilever in 1981, and went on to work for L'Oréal, Dixons Retail, Argos, and Whitbread.[3][5] In 2007 she joined the Post Office as group network director.[6] On 1 April 2012, she became its chief executive officer (CEO).[7] During her time as CEO, the Post Office went from losing £120 million a year to making a profit.[8]
In February 2019 it was announced that she would step down from her Post Office role, and that month was appointed as a non-executive board member at the Cabinet Office.[9] In April that year she took over as the chair of Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust; she resigned from this role in 2021.[10][11]
From 2002 to 2005, Vennells trained for holy orders on the St Albans and Oxford Ministry Course.[1] She was ordained in the Church of England as a deacon in 2005 and as a priest in 2006.[1] She has served as a non-stipendiary minister at the Church of St Owen, Bromham, in the Diocese of St Albans.[1][12] On 10 January 2024, BBC News reported sources told them that, around 2017 when Richard Chartres's tenure as Bishop of London was drawing to a close, Vennells had been interviewed for the post and reached the final shortlist of three.[13] She relinquished her clerical duties in 2021, but remains an ordained priest.[14] Her membership of the Church of England's Ethical Investment Advisory Group was terminated in 2021.[15]

Now what has come to light in the Post Office inquiry, is that on more than one occasion, senior witnesses who were in a position to know since they worked closely to her, have testified that she was heavily over-promoted and had not a clue what she was doing.
The Archbishop of Canterbury appears to have taken the same over-optimistic approach as have the corporate and political world, as we can clearly see in her biography above.
Furthermore, as a director, company law says you are personally responsible for what your staff get up to. It has also come to light through insurance issues and a letter that was suppressed for many years that the directors were informed of the state of the computer system, and despite this they signed it off for mass rollout.
Therefore, through this chain of events we must conclude all those postmasters were fucked by the desire to be politically correct and get with the wimin's lib.
It was always going to come to this at some point. No wonder the cretins were so desperate to cover the Post Office up for so long. They have exposed their politically correct arses for all to see. The CBE was the crowning of the turd.
