Welfaux MH Celebrates Mental Health Awareness Week

Alex Kirkup-Lee • May 23, 2022

This month we celebrated Mental Health Awareness Week on 9-15th May. The theme this year is ‘loneliness’, encouraging individuals to build meaningful connections with friends, family, colleagues and communities.

As a family-run business for over 30 years, our team has become a family in itself, making it important that we look out for each other and that employees genuinely enjoy being at work and with the rest of the team. We try to make Welfaux an open place to talk, with Chris and Richard always available to chat, and they catch up frequently with staff members about work and non-work related matters.


We asked the team what they enjoy most about working at Welfaux, and here are a couple of things they said:

“[Welfaux] is a really friendly atmosphere and when you enjoy your work and the people you work with it makes you really look forward to coming to work!”


(Matt Gurr, Senior Engineer)

‘The best thing about working at Welfaux is working with a great team of people and how the company look after all of the staff.’


(Andy Clark, Service Controller)

‘Even though I am still rather new here (6 months in), I have already seen how supportive and compassionate people can be to each other here at Welfaux. You can come in, have a laugh with everyone and just be yourself. It’s a real family feel!’


(Natalie Maslen, General Admin)

While employee wellbeing and mental health are always a focus for us, this month we really reflect on what we are doing as a business and how we can further support our staff.

In the dynamic landscape of warehouses and storage facilities, making the most of every inch of available space is key to efficiency. For businesses dealing with limited room to manoeuvre, pedestrian forklifts and stackers have seen a huge rise in popularity. In this blog, we'll explore the numerous benefits these compact machines bring to the table when it comes to navigating small spaces.
