Back in 2008, we set out to make wellbeing in the workplace more than just a ‘nice-to-have.’

But times were different.

The financial crisis had companies tightening their belts and the research backing the impact of wellbeing wasn’t as strong as it is today.

We believed in it, we saw the potential—but the world (well, the North East of England) wasn’t quite ready. So, while the fire for workplace wellbeing never went out, we took a step back.

Then came 2023. The landscape had changed. The evidence was undeniable: wellbeing isn’t just about ‘feeling good’—it’s a strategic advantage, directly linked to performance, retention, and culture. More businesses were finally recognising that. And so, with resilience at our core, we reignited Life Factory.

Today, we’re a team of specialists—Resilience coaches, Mental Health First Aid instructors, menopause experts, and psychologically informed workplace strategists to name just a few—dedicated to helping businesses embed wellbeing in a way that truly makes a difference.

Whether you need a strategic wellbeing partner or support for a specific initiative, we’re here to help.

Let’s talk about what wellbeing could look like in your organisation.
