Paul Woodley, born on the 26th October 1951 in Vereeninging, South Africa. Full name, Paul Michael Woodley. He is married to Di Woodley who together have 5 beautiful children, 3 girls and 2 boys, known respectively by age as Michelle, Michael, Ryan, Anji and Genevieve.

Paul invented and patented a shelf edge label holder system in 1987, now commonly known as STRiPs and also HOLDiTS. A unique, simple plastic device that attaches to a shelf edge, usually using double side tape and into which price and bar code labels are inserted making it easy for the consumer to see the price of the item on the shelf.

He and his wife formed a company called HOLDiT PRODUCTS, later to become known as HOLDiT MARKETING & MANUFACTURING PTY LTD. www.holdit.co.za. They successfully introduced the STRiP to their first major client, Checkers, back in 1988. Soon to follow where other major retail giants such as Pick 'n Pay, OK, Hyperama, Spar, Metro etc., the list goes on.

They continue to manufacture the STRiP, now to an ever bigger growing market and client base, stretching as far as the UAE, South America and India. HOLDiT's arsenal of visual communication display products has grown rapidly over the last few years and include their latest patented device known as the UNiTRACK, a combination device employing both an extrusion and the STRiP.

Paul enjoys creating music and playing guitar. He has a recording studio, AXYS, where he puts his creative talents to use. Also a guitar collector, he has an amazing collection of rare guitars including a Brian Moore, 2 x PRS, 2 x Fender Stratocaster and two unique and rare Ibanez  guitars, namely a RB, (Reb Beach) and a FG, (Frank Gambale).
