聽
"This is an important appointment for Paragon, the first critical appointment since I came back into the CEO role. My aim is to strengthen our management team and bring core skills into the business. If you assess where our major failures have been over the past five years it is clearly in the contract and commercial management of material contracts. We need people with experience of our unique industry that also have a proven track record of strong performance based results. As our sales order book strengthens we are excited to have Rian join our team."
