What is a Wellbeing Champion?
- Hydraquip’s Wellbeing Champions are employees who have chosen to complete mental health training so that they can support their colleagues, should they ever need it.
- The role of a Wellbeing Champion in the workplace is to be a point of contact for an employee who is experiencing a mental health issue or emotional distress. This interaction could range from having an initial conversation through to supporting the person to get appropriate help.
Is it confidential?
- Yes. Any conversation with a Wellbeing Champion will remain confidential, unless there is a concern for your safety. In this instance only the appropriate people will be notified.
How do I make contact?

Wellbeing Champions Contact List
I have worked for Hydraquip since April 2022 as a mobile hose engineer.
I have taken on the role of Mental Health Champion as it is something close to my heart after suffering my own Mental Breakdown several years ago. Through counselling I have learned techniques that have help me. I have an empathetic ear and hope through my experiences I can help others learn to control their struggles.
I am the Purchase Ledger manager and have worked for Hydraquip for 20+ years, during my time here I have come across so many different characters, and lots of people have reached out to me in the past, I have always wanted to be able to do more, so I completed a college course and passed with flying colours, which gave me a better understanding and I was able to then give valid advice.
I’ve lived in Aylesbury with my wife and daughter for 16 years, originally coming from west London. I like going out on my motorbike in my spare time and touring.
I am a Metal Health Champion because my wife and daughter suffer with anxiety and felt it might benefit in understanding more. I also like to help people and feel if it would benefit anyone in talking about their worries.
I live in Hertfordshire with my family and enjoy long walks with my dog, I also enjoy gardening and diy and find these useful for mindfulness. I would like to support anyone that needs someone to talk to confidentially. I have supported a member of staff recently by offering to talk through the struggles of life and helping see how this can be managed into bite sized chunks.
