Henry Colbeck supports mental health awareness on World Mental Health Day 2025. Discover how we promote wellbeing and support our team and customers through mental health initiatives.
At Henry Colbeck, we understand that mental health is just as important as physical health — especially in fast-paced industries like foodservice and logistics. This World Mental Health Day on October 8th, 2025, we want to shine a light on mental wellbeing and remind everyone that no one needs to face their challenges alone.
Why Mental Health Matters to Us
The wellbeing of our colleagues, customers, and partners is at the heart of everything we do. Supporting mental health means creating a culture where people feel valued, heard, and supported. In a business with a long family tradition like Henry Colbeck — dating back to 1893 — looking out for each other is simply part of who we are.
How Henry Colbeck Promotes Mental Wellbeing
We know that life and work can sometimes be overwhelming, so we’ve put several initiatives in place to help:
- Open communication: Encouraging honest conversations about mental health to reduce stigma
- Support networks: Access to professional counselling and wellbeing resources
- Flexible working: Helping colleagues balance work and life commitments
- Training: Equipping managers to recognise signs of stress and provide support
Our commitment extends beyond the workplace — we want to create awareness across the industry and support our customers in fostering positive environments too.
