Here at Paragon, we are keen to acknowledge our employees' achievements, both professional and personal. We therefore thought we would take this opportunity to share the recent achievements of two of our employees with you. On April 10th, Jane Green and Darren Scott completed The Brighton Marathon - they each did extremely well and we wanted to congratulate them on their success.
They joined 8,000 other runners on the 26.2 mile route, cheered on by thousands of spectators (including some of our employees) lining the streets to show their support for the runners. They both achieved personal goals by completing the marathon in good times. Jane completed the course in 5hrs 18mins and Darren in 4 hrs 41 minutes.
When asked about why she decided to take on this challenge Jane explained, “We are used to going the extra mile for our customers, so we just decided that it would be good to go 26.2 just this once!”
We think this is a great achievement and recognise Jane and Darren’s dedication, a value that resonates strongly through all of our employees. Paragon encourages staff fitness, just one small part of our World Class programme. In support of this, we have a fully equipped gym at our Bedford HQ and a partnership with Bedford Rugby, who provide trainers for our circuit sessions. Lots of our employees take advantage of these facilities, ranging from those who haven’t exercised since leaving full time education, to those who use it as a base for more serious pursuits, such as in the case of Jane and Darren who used the facilities to train for their marathon.
We will continue to encourage a happy and healthy workforce and want to say big congratulations to Jane and Darren - you did a great job!
