Feeling GReat at Gardiner Richardson
This week the whole studio was treated to a very healthy and delicious Wednesday morning as part of our ‘Feel Great at Work’ programme.
The initiative, which has been set up by the Department of Health, is a year-long project that encourages businesses to make improvements to health and well being in the office. As well as taking part in activities to make us all more active, we’ve also been looking at ways to make positive changes to our nutrition. This has included working with the University of Northumbria on several research projects into the team’s current diet and fitness levels.
And this is where the healthy breakfast idea comes in. We set up a Wednesday morning brunch bar in the GR kitchen, with a vast array of healthy treats on offer such as fresh fruit and bread, nutritious muffins and delicious fresh fruit smoothies.
The brunch bar was a great success, not to mention demolished in record time, giving us all a much needed healthy boost as the cold snap kicked in. Plans are already afoot for a Christmas special.
