Paramount is officially part of the Ethical Agent Network, a community of agents committing to a set of values and principles that can often be overlooked in the property industry. You can find out more about the promises Paramount have committed to in the ethical agency network here.

A core part of the Ethical Agency Network is giving back, and so they promise to commit at least £500 to community groups and good causes every month; not only that, but they work hard behind the scenes and partner with various charity campaigns.

This brings us to the tablet donation; because Lettings Director Spencer Lawrence sits on the advisory board, they were kindly gifted an Amazon tablet to donate to a school of their choice. This gave Rhian Crumlin of Marketing a really special opportunity to give back to a place that gave her so much.

Rhian had the pleasure of donating the tablet to St Mary Magdalens – her old primary school! Rhian comments “It was wonderful to walk around and see my old stomping groun.  I even had the pleasure of saying hi to a few of her old teachers.

St Mary Magdalens are currently on a mission to create a carbon-neutral school, and the student council have been working hard to create a plan and spread awareness on how they will achieve this. The school decided to use the tablet as a fundraising prize; all funds raised would be given to the school council so that they could fund various eco projects across the school year.

Looking after our planet is something we stand behind here at Paramount, so it was reassuringly inspiring to watch the next generations of eco champions appear. I felt overwhelmingly proud that St Mary Magdalens are still as committed to making the world a better place just as much as they did when I was there.

It was a great to give back to a school that gave me so much; St Mary Mag’s was big on pushing creativity, a culture that probably contributed to me now working in marketing and loving every minute of it.

A really special moment to end 2023 with”.
