South West Expansion

Paragon Traffic Management in Gloucestershire

At Paragon Traffic Management, our vision is to be a nationwide leader, admired for our people, partnerships, and performance. Our mission anchors on delivering quality services with transparency, fostering safe practices and minimising environmental impact. We value respect, collaboration, and direct feedback, shunning office politics and discrimination. With a focus on communication and lean operations, we measure success by the value we create for our clients.

In line with these principles, we are excited to share a milestone in our strategic expansion – the opening of our new South West depot in Lydbrook, Gloucestershire. This step not only enhances our service delivery but also enriches work-life balance for our regional operatives and adds value to our clients and communities.

Meet Tom Robins

Tom Robins, our South West Area Manager, boasts a unique and diverse career trajectory that sets him apart in the traffic management industry. His journey began in the military, serving in the prestigious Royal Anglian Regiment of the British Army. This experience endowed him with exceptional discipline, leadership skills, and a strong commitment to teamwork and safety.

Following his service in the army, Tom embarked on a new journey in the traffic management industry. Over the past seven years, he has proven his mettle, working his way up through the ranks and leaving a significant impact on every project he’s been part of, including the High-Speed 2 (HS2) project.

HS2 is a pioneering high-speed railway system being built across the UK, connecting major cities like London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Leeds. Tom’s involvement in this ambitious project has honed his expertise in managing large-scale, complex traffic systems, preparing him for his pivotal role at Paragon Traffic Management.

The Strategic Importance of the Gloucester Depot

The Gloucestershire depot’s strategic location is twofold. Firstly, it enables us to swiftly and efficiently deliver traffic management solutions to our clients in the South West. Having a depot in this location significantly enhances our ability to respond promptly to our customers’ needs and vastly reduce turnaround times.

Secondly, the depot offers our regional operatives a more balanced work-life experience. A base closer to home enables our dedicated team members to better manage the demands of work and personal life, aligning with Paragon Traffic Management’s emphasis on employee wellbeing.

Collaborating for a Better Future

Our expansion into the South West opens a wealth of opportunities, not only for our business, but also for the communities we’ll be serving. By working closely with local councils and clients, we’re looking to make a positive impact on the areas we work within, communities and inspiring the traffic management industry as a whole to elevate safety standards.

This depot is a symbol of our commitment to growth, innovation, and community engagement. We continue to dedicate ourselves to providing dependable and effective traffic management solutions while prioritising safety in our operations.

Driving the Route to Mental Health Support

Mental Health Awareness Week 2023

As we observe Mental Health Awareness Week from the 15th to the 21st of May 2023, it’s a poignant reminder that mental health is a universal concern that touches every aspect of our lives, including our work environment. This week presents an opportunity to spotlight mental health issues, reduce stigma, and promote open conversations about mental wellbeing.

At Paragon Traffic Management, we are acutely aware of the unique mental health challenges that our traffic management operatives, office staff, and management may encounter. Recognizing the importance of mental health for our collective wellbeing and productivity, we have committed to supporting our staff’s mental health not only during this significant week but throughout the year.

Our Integrated Approach to Mental Health Support

In an effort to provide comprehensive mental health support for our entire team, we’ve introduced a range of initiatives and resources

Mental Health First Aider

We have a dedicated Mental Health First Aider available to all our staff. This trained professional is equipped to identify early signs of mental health issues and offer immediate support and guidance. This resource is a critical first step in ensuring our team members never feel alone in their struggles.

Mental Health Awareness Training

Every new employee undergoes Mental Health Awareness training as part of their induction. This training equips our staff with the necessary knowledge to identify mental health issues in themselves and others. It also fosters a supportive work environment where mental health issues can be openly discussed without fear of judgment.

Perkbox Wellbeing Support

We offer wellbeing support through Perkbox, a leading employee experience platform. With Perkbox, our team members have access to a wide array of resources and benefits designed to support their mental and physical health, from wellness content and fitness classes to discounts on wellness products and services.

Occupational Health Referrals

If an employee is experiencing mental health challenges, they can be referred to Occupational Health services through their line manager. These services offer additional support and guidance, ensuring that all our team members have the resources they need to navigate their mental health journey.

year-round commitment

As Mental Health Awareness Week unfolds, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting our staff’s mental health. But our dedication extends far beyond this week. At Paragon Traffic Management, we believe that mental health awareness is a year-round commitment. It’s a cornerstone of our mission and an essential part of our identity as a company that cares deeply for its people.

Together, we are Paragon Traffic Management – driving the route to mental health support and leading the way in creating a supportive, understanding, and inclusive workplace. We encourage everyone to reach out, connect, and remember: you are not alone. Help is always available, and it’s okay to ask for it.

Mental Health Resources

As we navigate our mental health journeys together, remember that there are numerous resources available to support you. Visit www.mentalhealth.org.uk for more information on mental health awareness, access to training resources, and opportunities to donate. By contributing, you can help expand the reach of mental health resources and make a difference in the lives of those affected. Your journey matters, and together, we can make a positive impact on mental health. Reach out, seek help, and let’s pave the way for a healthier future.
