Paul Gregg, a native of Scarborough, North Yorkshire, was born in 1941. He began his career as a businessman and entertainment impresario, laying the foundation for what would later become the UK's most prominent theatre owner and significant independent family-run cinema chain, Apollo Leisure Group.

After selling Apollo to SFX Group in 1999 and leaving new owners Clear Channel, he was a large stakeholder in Everton F.C. before falling out with former friend Bill Kenwright in 2004 and selling his stake in October 2006 to Robert Earl.
