Grenadier Holdings Hero Image

Grenadier Holdings is a privately held investment company.

We acquire, invest in, and build excellent companies. We support and partner with our leadership teams to achieve sustainable growth and make a positive impact. 

Grenadier Holdings was formed through the evolution of the former Paragon Group into a series of investment holdings. Historically, Paragon Group took direct operational responsibility for the running of our companies. As these companies have evolved and grown to their current scale, our focus has also shifted – Grenadier Holdings now holds significant shareholdings in our operating companies and our focus is now to manage and foster the evolution and growth of these investments.
