Paul Cartwright, a 39-year-old scaffolding firm boss from Kearsley in Bolton, did not return home on Monday as scheduled after a holiday in Benidorm. His family last heard from him when he was seen by friends near Chaplin’s Bar in Benidorm in the early hours of Sunday. These friends have since returned to the UK.
Cartwright’s wife, Sara Louise Cartwright, and his mother, Eileen Jones, have expressed significant concern for his safety. They flew to Spain on Thursday to collaborate with local authorities and organize a search. Paul is described as being “very recognisable” due to having “half an ear missing.” He is believed to have lost his phone and was likely wearing beige chino shorts, a white T-shirt, and flip-flops, and typically wears glasses. His family believes he could be anywhere between Benidorm’s old town and the strip.
