HUB24 and Easton complete Paragem transaction
One of the central pillars of HUB24’s acquisition and growth strategy has been completed, with Easton Investments announcing that the Paragem acquisition is complete.

Easton’s announcement said the technology partnership and distribution agreement between it and HUB24 was now in place as “as framework to explore software development projects”.
