    MS Society Charity Walk

    Social value is about showing up, getting involved and supporting causes that matter to our people and the communities around us.

    That is exactly why our recent 5-mile charity walk in Scunthorpe, organised in collaboration with the MS Society, meant so much to us as a business.

    On Saturday 30th May, Paragon employees, family members, children and even pets came together at Central Park, Scunthorpe for a brilliant day in support of a fantastic cause. The weather was on our side, the atmosphere was great, and there was a real sense of community throughout the event.

    Most importantly, the day raised £600 through JustGiving donations, our Easter Egg raffle and the additional raffle linked to the event. Every penny will go towards supporting people living with Multiple Sclerosis and the vital work carried out by the charity.

    For us, the value of the day went beyond the fundraising total. It was a chance for people across the business to come together outside of work, support something meaningful and be part of a positive local event. It also reflected the kind of culture we want to keep building at Paragon, one that values teamwork, community involvement and getting behind causes that have a real impact on people’s lives.

    What made the day especially important was how genuine it felt. People joined because they wanted to be there. They gave their time, brought their families, contributed prizes, volunteered their help and helped create an event that felt warm, relaxed and worthwhile from start to finish.

    As a business, we work in communities every day, so it matters to us that we contribute positively to them where we can. Supporting the MS Society in Scunthorpe gave us the chance to do that in a way that felt local, practical and meaningful.

    We are incredibly proud of what was achieved through the walk and grateful to everyone who helped make it happen. Raising £600 for a brilliant cause is something we are really pleased with, but just as important was what the day represented. It showed what can happen when people come together, support something bigger than themselves and do a small bit of good in the communities around them.

    For us, that is exactly what social value should look like.

  • Enhancing Traffic Management Across the Midlands

    Enhancing Traffic Management Across the Midlands

    Continual improvement is built into our DNA. We know that when it comes to delivering seamless, hassle-free traffic management, details matters. That’s why we’re excited to announce a significant expansion to our Scunthorpe HQ depot—the founding and busiest site in our national network.

    The yard has now grown by approximately 25%. While that might not sound like much on paper, the practical benefits for our operatives and the projects we support across the Midlands are substantial. More space means more efficiency, better organisation, and even faster job turnarounds.

    Our operatives now have a more accessible and spacious environment to load vans, prepare equipment, and hit the road without unnecessary delays. With newly designated area (highlighted in Yellow above) for cones, signage frames, barriers, and temporary traffic lights, our depot operates like a well-oiled machine. We’ve even created permanent space to house our IPV vehicle for high-speed works, making mobilisation for infrastructure projects across the Midlands even more efficient.

    This expansion supports our broader goal of providing dependable traffic management in the Midlands. As project demands grow and infrastructure needs evolve, we’re scaling up responsibly to stay ahead of the curve. It’s all part of our ongoing commitment to delivering safe, fast, reliable traffic management that keeps our clients moving.

    default

    What’s next? With the yard expanded, our focus may soon turn toward our office space because as the work grows, so does the team behind it. Watch this space.

    If you’re planning works in Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire or beyond, Paragon Traffic Management is ready to support your project.
