Paragon chairman, Alan Hardy, said: “We are on track for major and consistent growth but we cannot be complacent about this. I want to ensure that we reach our full potential and by bringing in Gary, we can do just that. He is driven by customer focus and service and has huge experience in harnessing the potential of growing businesses and their people.”

Perry added: “What Alan and the team have done here is fantastic, rising from a local fit-out firm to a national design and build practice with an international client list. We have an industry leading design team and a commitment to adding value to our clients’ property portfolios and businesses throughout the whole of their facilities life cycle. I am excited to be taking on this challenge to lead Paragon as we take the next step in our growth story.”
