Paragon Bank has appointed Daniel Cresswell to the role of relationship manager amid a spate of promotions.

Creswell was previously senior portfolio manager and will be responsible for the management of several client accounts, as well as developing new business.

He joined Titlestone (acquired by Paragon in 2018) as assistant portfolio manager in 2016.

Meanwhile, Jess Pilkington, Lilly Sargeant and Megan Andreou have been promoted from junior portfolio managers to portfolio managers. The trio started with Paragon in summer 2021.

Andrew Kyprianides has moved to director of credit and operations from senior operational credit manager.

Paragon development finance managing director Neal Moy says: “It’s fantastic to announce these promotions, which shows how you can progress with Paragon with hard work and the right attitude.

Creswell says: “This is a great move for me and I’m looking forward to working with clients, helping to deliver much-needed new housing in the UK. Paragon has helped me to develop my career and skills and I’m looking to build on that further in the new role.”
