Paragon Bank’s Motor Finance division has unveiled a new leadership structure, promoting five team members to senior roles. The restructuring follows the appointment of David Wilson as Managing Director after the retirement of Julian Rance in September.

Geoff Duncalf, who has been with Paragon for over six years, has been promoted to Head of Sales. In his new role, Duncalf will oversee external regional and key account managers while continuing to collaborate with introducers and dealers to deliver motor finance solutions.

Steve Mullins, a 20-year veteran of Paragon, has been named Senior Manager of Sales and Business Development. Mullins will lead internal sales and service functions within the division.

Operationally, David Brampton has been appointed to the newly created role of Senior Manager in Operations and Credit. Brampton, who began his career at Paragon in underwriting, will now focus on operational development, drawing on his experience in quality monitoring and risk management.

Nigel Saunders, who has been with Paragon for 37 years, has also been promoted to Senior Manager. Saunders will be responsible for ensuring compliance with evolving regulatory requirements.

Completing the new structure, Eamonn Pearson has joined as Senior Development Manager. Pearson brings experience in motor and asset finance from roles at Close Brothers and Aldermore. He will contribute to both sales and operational functions, helping to shape the division’s long-term strategy.
