Paragon Micro expands in UK

Paragon Micro has revealed plans to launch in the UK in April, with offices in Sheffield and London.

The US VAR has annual sales of $150 million and is an HPE, Dell and Cisco partner.

CEO Jeff Reimer said: “International expansion has long been part of our plan as it presents a tremendous growth opportunity for Paragon Micro given that a large percentage of the IT market is located outside the US.

“The UK is home to many international divisions of our major US clients. The opening of this office is in response to our US customers who conduct business in Europe and require the same kind of IT hardware, software, and solutions – globally.”

Former PCM boss Donavan Hutchinson will head the UK expansion. He left PCM soon after its acquisition by Insight.
