Unox UK staff ready to Thrive

As a long-term support and the first equipment manufacturer ambassador of The Burnt Chef Project, Unox is looking after its growing UK team by investing in a company-wide Thrive Mental Wellbeing access.

A manufacturer of sustainable and innovative kitchen equipment, Unox has pledged to do its bit for the long-term health of the industry and the planet – but is also supporting its partners, customers and dedicated team.

Following a period of sustained growth, the Unox UK team has grown from 25 to 38 roles since the start of 2023. While this is a testament to the company’s capabilities and ongoing support, it has the potential to challenge the overall wellbeing of the internal team. Therefore, Unox UK has invested in Thrive for both existing and future employees.

An app-based platform, Thrive is offered in partnership with The Burnt Chef Project – the not-for-profit organisation working to eradicate the stigma around mental health. Empowering individuals to monitor, support and seek help, Thrive helps individuals develop a greater understanding, build resilience and seek care when needed.

Created in conjunction with the NHS, the app tackles common stressors, including sleep, bereavement and workrelated issues. It can screen for anxiety and depression, offers users the opportunity to speak directly to clinically trained therapists and delivers personalised data tracking for users.

Kris Hall, founder and CEO at The Burnt Chef Project said: “Unox has been a long-term supporter of The Burnt Chef Project – raising thousands of pounds and simultaneously helping us spread the word about the mental health crisis in the hospitality industry. The roll-out of our Thrive mental wellbeing app to the company’s expanding UK team demonstrates that Unox doesn’t just talk about supporting those in need, but takes clear action to support them too.”

Each member of the Unox UK team has been given their own unique license for the digital platform, along with information and advice.

Scott Duncan, managing director of Unox UK, added: “Sustainability is a key principle of Unox, both here in the UK and around the world. We don’t just see it as doing good for the planet, but doing good by our team.”
