Wellbeing on the menu at Hakim Group

Hakim Group’s mental health steering group campaigns for staff wellbeing by launching a recipe book to boost healthy eating on a budget.

This has been led by their head of communication and project management, Nick Lowe, with recipes developed by marketing executive Mia Joyce.

Lowe said: ‘Staff wellbeing is paramount to everything we do at Hakim Group and we wanted to do something to promote healthy eating and support our team’s mental health during the working week.

‘It’s far too easy to slump into a habit of eating soggy supermarket sandwiches at your desk but we want to encourage our team to get a bit more adventurous with their lunches with some delicious healthy recipes for them to enjoy.’

Joyce added: ‘It’s a difficult time for many at the moment with the ever-increasing cost of living so we are mindful of creating recipes that suit all budgets and are affordable, easy to make and delicious to eat.’
