Asset finance at specialist lender Paragon has been named the Best Specialist Finance Solutions Provider in the SME News Magazine’s 2019 Legal Awards.

SME News introduced the inaugural UK Legal Awards to its roster this year with the intention of recognising and putting a spotlight on the very best that this innovative and competitive industry has to offer.

As a specialist lender, Asset finance teams at Paragon have the scale and expertise to support the breadth of the SME community - from legal practice support to construction and printing; HGVs to aviation and agriculture; business finance, media and medical technology to manufacturing.

Richard Doe, Managing Director for Commercial Lending at Paragon, said:

As a specialist SME lender, we are delighted to win this award from SME News Magazine especially as Asset finance at Paragon is working hard to improve access to funding for SMEs so that they can thrive.

SME News said that as an independent awarding body, business size or reach were not the only deciding factors for its nominations, adding that it focussed more on the quality of dedication and innovation within the work done and in forming positive relations with clients.

SME News prides itself on the validity of its awards and winners. The awards are given solely on merit and are awarded to commend those most deserving for their ingenuity and hard work, distinguishing them from their competitors and proving them worthy of recognition.
