The entrepreneur hopes The Paragon Club will increase the opportunities for company decision-makers to get together to discuss business issues on a regular basis.
It aims to promote business in the city, central belt and west of Scotland with events throughout the year.
Mr Gill, one of Scotland’s most prolific entrepreneurs and business role models is also vice-chairman of The Entrepreneurial Exchange.
He said: “The Paragon Club is open to all senior decision makers in business – and that’s the difference between Paragon and other business networks. I have a passion for exchanging ideas and information with both established business people and budding entrepreneurs.
“This new networking club will offer the Glasgow business community a high-level platform on which to enjoy robust discussions with like-minded individuals.
“The Glasgow business scene is fast-paced and constantly changing – we need to grow with it and make decisions quickly.
“The Paragon Club will help foster new business relationships as well as assist economic recovery throughout 2010.”
A key component of The Paragon Club is its online business networking facility where members can develop their own networks with fellow Paragon Club members.
Councillor Steven Purcell, leader of Glasgow City Council, was the keynote speaker at the Clydesdale Bank-sponsored launch on Friday at Slumdog Bar and Kitchen.
Another component of The Paragon Club will be its round-table Captain’s Table series which will bring together groups of people, generally from specific business sectors, to discuss a pertinent topic over a curry at the Slumdog Bar and Kitchen venue.
