Paragon’s asset finance business has been incorporated under the company’s main brand, along with all other divisions.

The bank’s car finance division was also renamed to “motor finance”, in order to reflect “the growth in Paragon’s product range, having expanded its funding to include finance for light commercial vehicles and leisure vehicles such as motorhomes and caravans, as well as cars.”

Additionally, Paragon has expanded its senior ranks with hires in the vehicle and aviation finance segments.

Alison Jones has joined as head of aviation, and previously worked as relationship director for aviation finance at Lombard.
