8 | Statement from our
CEO
Paragon Group Limited – 05258175
“ I want to thank all of the men and women in the Paragon Group who work tirelessly to deliver outstanding service to our customers. ”
Building the future
We continue to welcome senior executives
who bring deep expertise to our group. This year we predominantly strengthened the team via acquisition: with Jeremy Walters, CEO of Paragon Customer Communications, joining from DST Output in the UK and Julien Zuccarelli, CEO of Paragon ID, joining from ASK, along with their respective teams.
With the acquisition and development activity during the year, we have continued to strengthen and complement our existing skill base, providing the group with solid foundations to continue our growth and excellent client services. We are also heavily focused on retaining and developing our talent at all levels – from our successful Graduate Programme to ensuring our long-term staff receive ongoing training and support.
Evolving to three divisions
During the year, we aligned the business into three divisions – Paragon Customer Communications, Paragon ID and Paragon Graphic Services.
Paragon Customer Communications is the largest division of the Group, providing a range of services to our clients to improve their communications
with their customers. Paragon ID delivers RFID
and contactless solutions for personal identification, mass transit, smart cities, brand protection and traceability. Paragon Graphic Services is an on-demand digital print network offering design
and marketing services to businesses, as well as reprographic services to the engineering, construction and retail sectors.
All of this occurs in a rapidly changing environment and we continue to invest in robust financial and risk management systems and procedures.
The rapid development of Paragon Group will continue. We expect to see continued profitable and sustainable growth based upon the firm foundations we have created.
I want to thank all of the men and women in the Paragon Group who work tirelessly to deliver outstanding service to our customers.
