Big news for Sheffield Forgemasters this week. I don’t mean them securing a £140 million deal to build components for new nuclear power stations, pretty much guaranteeing the future of local manufacturing for the next twenty years. No, they are the latest company to sign up to the Healthy Champion programme and put their name to Sheffield Let’s Change4Life!

I met with the Occupational Health Nurse, Dawn Brunt, who saw the Champion programme as a great opportunity. They currently employ around 800 staff in the city and are always looking to make positive steps to safeguard their health.

I’m absolutely delighted they recognise obesity as a real issue for the city and am looking forward to working with them to help Sheffield become a truly healthy place to live and work.

Hi I'm Mark

I'm the HR & Operations Coordinator for the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce. My role is very varied - I work across the Chamber in a number of different departments, from coordinating internal procedures and policies to working on external contracts with businesses across Sheffield and South Yorkshire. I'll be engaging with local companies of all sizes using different initiatives to bring Sheffield - Let's Change4Life to business and beyond in all sorts of different ways.

I believe that Sheffield - Let's Change4Life is a great opportunity for the people of Sheffield to put into practice something that we all wish we could do more - staying healthy by eating better, exercising more and improving our work and life habits for the long term. Business has a major role to play in this as most of us spend the majority of our day in the workplace. The Chamber's role is to make that job easier by sharing best practice and new ideas across Sheffield.
