We’re proud to announce that we’ve officially opened our new Runcorn depot, giving us a stronger presence across the North West and allowing us to provide faster response times, more local support and greater capacity for projects of every scale. This site has been built with the same approach that drives everything we do, Safety by Choice, Not by Chance.

A Purpose Built TM Hub for the North West

As Tony shows in our announcement video, the Runcorn depot is a fully operational base supporting works across Liverpool, Manchester, Warrington, Cheshire, Merseyside and the surrounding areas. We designed this location to raise the bar for the speed, quality and consistency of our Traffic Management delivery.

Over the last six months, we’ve invested heavily to support this expansion. We’ve brought in two hundred brand-new portable traffic lights and added around thirty-five new vehicles to our fleet, all of which are already working across the UK every day. Inside the depot, we’ve created a dedicated battery room with fully charged replacements ready to go at all times, allowing our teams to swap units quickly and keep jobs running without interruption.

We’ve also introduced a dedicated area for our Quick Lock signage systems, giving us the ability to deliver clean, tidy setups without using old sandbags. All our signage, cones, pedestrian systems and barriers in Runcorn are brand new, because we wanted this depot to set a clear standard for how we operate in the North West. The site also includes a new office and meeting area so we can host client visits, presentations and planning sessions directly from the depot, while maintaining all equipment in-house to Paragon’s usual standard.

Why Runcorn — and Why Now

Demand for Traffic Management in the North West continues to rise across utilities, highways, construction, rail and events. Opening a permanent base in Runcorn means we can deploy local TMOs even faster, reduce travel time, cut emissions and respond more effectively to emergency or short-notice works. It also allows us to store more equipment locally and support larger or more complex programmes without relying on resources from further away.

We’ve always taken pride in the condition of our equipment, and it’s something clients notice immediately. It’s not unusual for people on-site to ask whether we’ve bought everything new just for their job but, the reality is that we simply look after our kit and keep it clean, safe and ready to go, because that’s part of who we are.

Supporting Projects Across the North West

With the Runcorn depot now fully operational, we’re able to move quicker than ever on lane closures, TM plans, permits, temporary traffic lights, emergency callouts and major infrastructure works. Our 24-hour turnaround for quotes and TM plans remains the same, but having a dedicated North West base gives us improved speed, flexibility and reliability for clients across the region.
