New Leaf Health's Approach to Workplace Wellbeing Services

Here at New Leaf Health, we like to approach wellbeing in a holistic way.

We recognise that workplace health and wellbeing isn’t just a box-ticking exercise. Every business, small or large, is different and requires a different approach.

We pride ourselves on working actively with our clients to establish the right services at the right time.

No matter what wellbeing challenges you face in your organisation, our team are here to help and support you.

Our History

1996

Phil Founds New Leaf Associates

After a career in the RAF, Phil Olding moved into public health in the West Midlands. Identifying a gap in the market for workplace health promotion, Phil founded New Leaf Associates to help bring physical and mental wellbeing to workplaces.

2000

Walking the Way to Health Government Contract

After success working locally, particularly in the public sector, New Leaf won a national government contract to promote health through walking across the UK.

2006

Andy Joins New Leaf Health Ltd

After plenty of continued growth, Phil needed to bring more people on board. He reached out to Andy Lee-O’Neil, an RAF colleague, and New Leaf Health Ltd was founded.

2008

National UK Partnerships

In the years that followed, New Leaf won several key workplace wellbeing contracts, including:

Countryside Agency national stepometer programme.
Facilitating the AXA Health On Site programme.
Training and education for the Dept. for Work and Pensions.
Developing workplace wellbeing roadshows for the British Heart Foundation.
Designed and delivered the Vitality Roadshow for workplaces for Vitality Reward Points.

2012

Health Checks for NHS

In 2012, we developed our most succesful and engaging service – the DIY Health Check Point. This medical grade equipment allows employees to find out key health stats in just a few minutes. Additionally, we brought our health checks to the NHS, winning a contract to deliver on behalf of NHS Mid-Essex.

2012

UK’s First Wellbeing Champions Conference

As if 2012 wasn’t already busy enough, we also held the UK’s first ever Workplace Wellbeing Champions Conference in Birmingham. With over 140 attendees and numerous speakers from different health and wellbeing fields, this was a huge milestone in promoting workplace health.

2015

More National Partnerships

Over the next few years we developed wellbeing programmes for several national and international organisations, including:

Barclays Bank Stair Challenge.
KFC regional wellbeing interventions.
Kimberley Clark international conference support.
Mental Health Course for Managers for Capita.
Love Your Liver Awareness Days for the British Liver Trust.

2018

Launched Workplace Mental Health First Aid

In 2018 we launched our first Mental Health First Aid courses, delivering the MHFA England content to workplaces around the UK.

2020

COVID Testing Programme

As COVID-19 hit, we pivoted to online training and support. Many clients were struggling to obtain COVID tests, so we began sourcing them on-demand for clients. We also became one of the first businesses to being distributing the gold-standard Acon Flowflex test in the UK, even before the NHS!

2021

Back On-Site

By mid-2021, we were lucky enough to be able to return to on-site work for clients. Our first event back was a health screening day for Procter & Gamble at their Reading site.

2025

Accredited Training Courses

Over the next few years, the training arm of our business continued to grow, including a national training partnership with Network Rail. By 2025, we were able to offer several different internationally recognised courses, with accreditation from:

The Royal Society for Public Health.
Mental Health First Aid England.
National Centre for Suicide Prevention.
City & Guilds.
CPD.

The Future

Looking Forward

As we continue to grow, our focus remains solely on the needs of our clients. All of the services we offer are designed to genuinely help and provide support to clients, not just tick boxes.

If you’ve got a specific workplace wellbeing challenge, we can help – let’s talk.
