Personal Group Holdings Plc

("the Company" or "Group")

 

Appointment of Hon Colonel Dame Kelly Holmes MBE (mil) as Chief Wellbeing
Ambassador

and

Extension of wellbeing capabilities on Hapi with new 'Transform' module

 

Personal Group Holdings Plc (AIM: PGH), the workforce benefits and services
provider, is delighted to announce the appointment of Hon Colonel Dame Kelly
Holmes MBE (mil), Double Olympic Champion, as the Group's Chief Wellbeing
Ambassador. Aligned with this appointment the Company is also significantly
extending the wellbeing offering available on its workforce benefits platform,
Hapi, with content which Dame Kelly has helped shape.

 

Chief Wellbeing Ambassador

 

For many years, Personal Group has been increasingly focused on supporting the
wellbeing of workforces - both our own team and the customers we serve -
encouraging them to thrive at work and in life. In the next great stride
forward in this mission we are thrilled to be appointing Dame Kelly as our
Chief Wellbeing Ambassador for this year. She is our inspiration for proving
what determination, resilience and taking responsibility for your own mental
and physical wellbeing can do.

 

In this role Dame Kelly will be helping to guide Personal Group's wellbeing
strategy, to ensure that our offering remains as meaningful, relevant and
impactful as it can be.

 

Extension of wellbeing facilities

 

Dame Kelly has helped to develop content designed to support people's physical
and mental wellbeing which is being integrated into our existing benefits
platform, Hapi, as a new component named 'Transform'. Transform adds
significant depth and breadth to our existing wellbeing offer with content
ranging from fitness videos to nutritional recipes and motivational speeches.
Current clients can now add Transform into their existing wellbeing packages
in order to bolster the proposition for the workforce.

 

Deborah Frost, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

 

"I am extremely proud to introduce Dame Kelly Holmes as Personal Group's first
Chief Wellbeing Ambassador. With her inspirational international sporting
achievements and longstanding mental health awareness advocacy, we look
forward to benefitting from her wealth of knowledge in the development and
evolution of our own wellbeing offering. We are also excited to be sharing our
knowledge with our clients, to improve their capacity to build resilience in
their workforce and help them thrive in life and at work.

 

Dame Kelly's appointment and our new wellbeing content, which is available for
clients as a 'Transform' module in our Hapi Benefits platform, increases the
breadth of Personal Group's workforce benefits offering and underlines our
commitment to providing our clients with the tools they need to support their
people in a truly meaningful way."

 

 

 

Hon Colonel Dame Kelly Holmes MBE (mil), Double Olympic Champion, said:

 

"Throughout my career, I have found a common thread across the worlds of
international sport, service in the British Army and working with businesses;
namely, the need to normalise the conversation around Mental Health awareness.
I have seen first-hand the benefits that meaningful physical and mental
wellbeing support brings, both for individual workers and for the culture of
the businesses as a whole.

 

I'm therefore extremely excited to be working with Personal Group, as Chief
Wellbeing Ambassador, to help organisations better provide their people with
the tools they need to thrive both in and outside the workplace."
