Parogon Group is a vibrant, independent hospitality company with a growing collection of venues across Staffordshire, Cheshire, and Shropshire. Renowned for transforming iconic landmarks into contemporary dining experiences, it is passionate about providing excellent food and drink in a relaxed atmosphere. But, what sets Parogon Group apart is its deep commitment to its employees through its unique initiative, 'Parogon Life'.

'Parogon Life' is the heartbeat of the company, fostering a culture of support, recognition, and wellbeing. The initiative is segmented into three areas: Wellbeing, Social, and Perks. The Wellbeing aspect emphasises on mental health support, maintaining work-life balance and an Employee Assistance Programme, while the Social and Perks sections cover staff incentives, rewards and community engagement activities.

In a bid to maintain transparency and encourage open communication, Parogon Group utilises a platform called Yapster. This platform facilitates a culture that bypasses hierarchy, ensuring that everyone in the organisation, from the floor staff to the Managing Director, Rich Colclough, can communicate freely.

Guided by its core values of Attention, Passion, Teamwork, Integrity, Develop and Legacy, Parogon Group has set a clear five-year plan, shared with all employees. This approach gives every team member a sense of purpose and direction for the future.

Furthermore, the company's leadership team stays visible, providing support and guidance to all employees while promoting personal development through leadership training courses.
