Paragon’s Commercial Finance team is bolstering its support of Scottish SMEs, appointing Craig Owens as Business Development Manager.

Bringing a wealth of experience after thirteen years with Santander, Craig will be joining the well-established team at Paragon, nurturing both new and existing customer relationships and further developing Paragon’s SME proposition in the region.

Commenting on the role, Craig said:

There is nothing more enjoyable than creating new and long-lasting customer relationships and continually finding the right solution to meet their needs.

“I look forward to growing Paragon’s SME lending proposition in Scotland by supporting new and existing clients with funding solutions that match their asset purchasing plans.”

Ken McKeating, SME lending Sales Director at Paragon, said:

It’s great to have Craig onboard with us and his wealth of knowledge and experience will be hugely beneficial in helping to further support customers across Scotland.

“With a number of trade shows in the region on the horizon for Paragon, such as Scotplant, Craig’s presence will be invaluable in supporting the team and growing our proposition in the area.”
