Wrightway Health Ltd is East Anglia’s largest independent Occupational Health provider. Whilst the bulk of their operations are in Norwich and Gorleston, Wrightway Health continues to expand across East Anglia. With reported gloom in the economy and many companies putting expansion on hold, Wrightway Health is bucking the trend and cementing their commitment to serving the region.
Wrightway Health decided to join the Norfolk Chamber since it forms a hub for key businesses in the county. The Chamber’s member events give businesses straightforward access to one another and provides opportunities for networking that are unparalleled.
Occupational Health focusses on maintaining the health and well-being of employees, which in turn helps employers keep their staff at work. At a time when the UK’s productivity gap is at its highest level since records began, more and more employers are looking at how Occupational Health can help them meet regulatory health-monitoring requirements whilst managing staff sickness absence and ensuring employees are taken care of.
Launched by Dr. Lindsey Wright MFOM and Alison Mackway in 2013, Wrightway Health Ltd (previously Abermed) has grown to offer Occupational Health services to a variety of local, national and international businesses, providing specialist services to a range of sectors, including energy, science and chemical, agriculture, transport, construction and healthcare amongst others.
Wrightway Health has five accredited doctors and a team of Occupational Health nurses and technicians available to offer medical assessments, sickness absence assessments, drug and alcohol screening, fitness to work medicals, health surveillance and bespoke Occupational Health assistance.
At a time of reported economic uncertainty with many businesses freezing investment, Managing Director of Wrightway Health Alison Mackway is upbeat about the economic future of Norfolk.
“Norfolk is at the heart of the UK’s agriculture and energy sectors. Businesses in these sectors present specific challenges to monitoring and safeguarding employee health, and our growth in the region stems from employers realising that.
It’s encouraging in times of uncertainty that we’re in a position to continue growing, but also that employers value the health of their staff. There’s a growing understanding that investing in Occupational Health is a real benefit to reduce levels of sickness absence from avoidable medical conditions.”
