Filshill boosts mental health support

Scottish wholesaler Filshill has set up a wellness group to help look after the mental wellbeing of its retailers.

The group was initially established to help Filshill’s warehouse staff, but the firm’s chief executive Simon Hannah told RN the support is available to retailers if needed. Support includes regular “wellbeing calls” and an option to join online group chats each week. The wellness group also holds planned activities such as hill walking, fitness bootcamps and challenges to meet a certain number of daily steps.
