What More UK, the Lancashire housewares manufacturer, and owner of the well-known brands Wham and BetterWare, has a great reputation for taking care of its 350 strong workforce based across two sites in East Lancashire.

One of the ways in which they are supporting employee health and wellbeing is by offering all staff free, confidential appointments with a medical checkup programme.

This initiative is part of What More UK's ongoing commitment to fostering a supportive and healthy working environment.

The confidential service allows employees to seek professional medical advice during work hours without the long wait times often associated with GP appointments.

Jonathan Cliffe, What More UK marketing and Ecommerce director, said: "We recognise that our team is the heartbeat of this business.

"By providing direct access to a doctor, we're not just offering convenience — we're breaking down barriers to essential care and showing our people that their health comes first. Even if it's just for peace of mind it is well worth doing - we have a great team here at What More, and we want them all to be happy and healthy!"

The on-site face to face appointments are fully confidential, with no obligation for staff to disclose any medical concerns to management.

This ensures privacy while helping to address issues such as stress, early diagnosis of illnesses, and health concerns that might otherwise go unaddressed.

As one of the UK's most respected manufacturers of housewares and bakeware — exporting to over 75 countries — What More UK continues to lead not only in innovation and sustainability, but also in workplace wellbeing.

What More is a proud member of Made in Britain and they export UK branded goods to 75 countries around the world, in addition to every major UK supermarket and another 1600 independent retailers.
