In 2019, Ben separated Wellbeing People from the water cooler business, to become its own company, Wellbeing People Ltd.
Ben is a strong believer that changing behaviours and attitudes to the way we live, both at home and at work, is the catalyst to leading a healthier life. From this principle, Ben developed the model of Engaged Prevention®, a unique concept that facilitates positive lifestyle change.
Ben loves what he does; he is passionate about the company and the team that support him. Ben looks after his own wellbeing through regular exercise, weekly PT and pilates sessions as well as enjoying a healthy diet!
