The Westgrove Group appoints mental health first aider

Facilities management company The Westgrove Group has appointed Paul Ogden its first site based mental health first aider.

Ogden will offer support and advice to vulnerable customers visiting the centre as well as to the centre’s tenants. 

Claire McKinley Smith, managing director of The Westgrove Group, said: “As a company, we take mental health extremely seriously so we are very proud to be one of the first facilities management companies in the UK to appoint a mental health first aider.

“We are fully on board with the ‘Time to Change’ campaign, supported by many UK businesses, to take mental health more seriously in the workplace as we believe that mental health needs to be given the same weight as physical first aid. “
