In partnership with our client Address Intelligence, Paragon’s Women’s Network (PWN) gathered clients, partners, and colleagues at the Oasis Bar in Canary Wharf on 12th March to celebrate International Women’s Day and bring this year’s theme, “Accelerate Action,” to life.
At the heart of our network is our mission: Inspire, Nurture, Mentor, Lead. The event brought together inspirational women from inside and outside Paragon and we were privileged to hear from an incredible line-up of speakers who shared their journeys, insights, and unfiltered experiences. From compelling personal stories to forward-thinking discussions, the day was bursting with energy, passion, and a collective drive to break barriers and push for change.
