Working With Paragon

"Paragon has been an ever-expanding business which has granted me opportunities to learn new things and work on many different projects that I wouldn’t normally have opportunity to be involved with elsewhere."

Chris Johnston

"One of the best things about Paragon is being part of a truly end-to-end approach. Working across projects and getting to see something from an initial outline on paper all the way through to walking into the completed development is unlike any previous company I've worked with, and being able to see that journey all the way through is incredibly uplifting and motivating, knowing that we can do something even bigger and better next time around.."

Holly Herbert

"Paragon has allowed me to be part of a team that genuinely cares about helping to shape the UK's residential property market. Not just by crafting market-leading products that drive institutional investment in areas of undersupply, but by creating products designed, from the outset, to meet the real-world demands of the ever-evolving UK housing market. Here, we get to help create lasting change within the areas we develop in and help cultivate communities rather than simply creating buildings to be lived in. Creating the products we make around the needs of our stakeholders, we get to create spaces that people are drawn to, and which they want to live in, and that makes a huge difference."

Dave Huxley

"Paragon is an exciting place of work thanks to our continued growth plans which are supported by our strong financial backing and ownership. This allows me and the development team the opportunity to work on a wide variety of exciting and market-leading residential-led schemes across several different regions in the UK. Our team enjoy working with the valued support of our increasing network of key trusted consultants and contractors supporting our journey."
