Pavlos Paradisiotis, a married father of four, was born in Ora in 1960. After graduating from Higher Technical Institute of Cyprus (Diploma of Marine Officer in Engineering), he continued his studies with a scholarship at University of Missouri at USA, where he gained his MSc in Industrial Engineering in 1986. After successful completion of his education, he returned back to Cyprus and worked at Lord Jeans as a Production Manager. His father, priest Andreas Paradisiotis, started a small breeding unit in order to provide for his family – wife and eight children. This unit was then developed into a family business which led to the establishment of Paradisiotis Ltd in 1988. His brothers urged him to take over the management of the company in 1994, which deals in poultry rearing and production as well as poultry, meat, fish and vegetables trading.
