New owners press ahead at Stockport printers

A Stockport printer’s future has been assured after the founder retired and passed the business into the experienced hands of Mike & Sharon Taylor.

Paragon Print & Marketing Solutions of Reddish has been taken over as a going concern, not only securing the future of all the staff, but also providing a place for a new member of the team after just the first month.

For Sharon, a former Sales Director at Hazel Grove based Fine Print, it was a home-coming in more ways than one:

“I first joined Paragon in 1999 in a sales exec role and stayed for a great 8 years. I have always kept in touch with my old work colleagues and have always retained a warm link with the company and its staff.

“I attended the wedding of a former work colleague from Paragon just four years ago and, as well as a welcome catch up with all my old work buddies, I actually met my now husband Mike so Paragon was playing a part in my life all over again.

“When the business owner of Paragon decided to retire, Mike and I were offered an amazing opportunity to take over the business and its 10 employees.  It was a huge decision for us but, it was a gift that we could not let pass us by. With over 45 years’ experience within the business print industry between us it made perfect sense to do this.”

Sharon, already a familiar face within Marketing Stockport, has now introduced Mike and their new business Paragon to Marketing Stockport.

Sharon added: “While many of the members already know me, I am really pleased to introduce Mike and our business to our fellow colleagues and members of Marketing Stockport.

“We have already addressed our branding and given it a refreshing and vibrant makeover.

“Mike and I have always demonstrated a pride in our work and our customers. But to be able to refer to our customers as ‘our’ customers, in every sense of the word, makes us very proud; it’s our business and keeping our customers 100% satisfied has never been more important.”
