We help people to improve their health and wellbeing through our free and confidential online self-help, through our helpline, support and specialist services. We support individuals to navigate through life’s challenges, empowering them to make positive, lasting change.

We work to understand each individual’s challenges and identify the causes of the underlying issues affecting quality of life, health and wellbeing.
When you’re struggling, it can be overwhelming to navigate all the resources out there and work out what support you need. Sometimes you just need someone to help guide you through the tough times and get you back on track. That’s exactly what Ben’s here for.
We’re here to listen and offer you the support that you need, based on your personal circumstances. Your support plan could include relevant information, advice and guidance but also counselling, coaching or financial assistance, including ways to manage money. We work with people to claim benefits they are entitled to and investigate specific funded support options. We also support people with a range of other challenges including illness, physical conditions, mental health, stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement and loneliness.

Upskill Your Team and Achieve BS 10125 Compliance While Reducing Your Costs
Traditional technician assessments are costing your bodyshop more than just a fee. Between lost productivity, travel expenses and workshop disruption, traditional accreditations are a drain on your profits.
Train to Gain by RWC Training is the industry’s smarter way for BS 10125 compliance. We deliver 100% Audit Certainty with an average cost saving of 26% – all while keeping your technicians exactly where they belong: in their bays.
The Top 5 Reasons to Switch:
• Zero Travel, Zero Downtime: No more sending staff to training centres. Our remote-validation model uses mobile video to validate your technician’s skills on live jobs once every three years at a time that suits you, minimising disruption to your daily operations.
• Slash Your Costs: Beyond the 26% assessment saving, you’ll eliminate hotel and fuel bills. Plus our monthly payment model spreads the cost, replacing large, irregular invoices with predictable cash flow.
• Real Upskilling: Built on the IMI CPD framework, our modules ensure your team is mastering the latest EV, ADAS and structural technologies. You can bolt on the specific C-Units you need to the core modules, ensuring your team isn't just repeating the basics, but evolving with the industry.
• Total Audit Certainty: Our programme is fully recognised and approved by BSI, RMISC and CARSQA. We provide national consistency across your entire network, ensuring every site meets the same high-level skill set.
• Effortless Management: Use our self-service online portal to book units that fit your schedule. We provide monthly progress reports and priority trackers to manage your compliance, helping you identify exactly who needs what next.
A Sustainable Choice
By removing the need for travel – for both your staff and assessors – Train to Gain significantly reduces your carbon footprint, directly supporting ARIES Hub reporting and your business’ environmental goals.

Website: https://www.cadenceperformance.com/ CycleCadence differs to cycle to work schemes as the proposition is one of “hiring” a bicycle with a bundled insurance (theft & damage), fitness app, maintenance and a Gold/Diamond lock. The bicycle is delivered and picked up from a place of the employee’s choosing.
From employee perspective, it’s the pay monthly fee and have everything covered that appeals (plus tax benefit of cycle to work pre-salary tax payment). From employer perspective it no longer costs them anything at all.

Website: https://kenprincecoaching.co.uk/
I support bodyshop owners and managers by developing the people behind the business, helping teams become more confident, capable and motivated, which ultimately drives better performance on the shop floor.
My work focuses on practical, tailored coaching and people development, specifically designed for the realities of the repair sector. I partner with repairers to strengthen leadership, improve communication, and build stronger, more engaged teams. Rather than a “one size fits all” approach, I work closely with each business to understand their challenges, their people, and their goals.
A key part of what I bring is helping businesses unlock the potential within their existing team. This includes developing skills in leadership, delegation, time management, confidence and communication, areas that often make the biggest difference to day‑to‑day operations but are rarely formally developed.
Through simple but effective approaches, such as gathering direct feedback from teams and turning that into focused development—I help repairers create a culture where people feel valued, supported and accountable. This leads to stronger morale, improved retention, better teamwork and clearer leadership across the business.
In an industry facing ongoing skills shortages and increasing pressure on performance, investing in people is one of the most effective ways to strengthen and future-proof a bodyshop.
My aim is straightforward: to help repairers build teams that not only perform better, but genuinely enjoy the work they do.

Website: https://ecoautosolutions.co.uk
Eco Auto Solutions works with bodyshops across Scotland and Carlisle to make dealing with automotive plastic waste simple, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible. We specialise in the collection and recycling of car bumpers, along with a wide range of other automotive materials, helping bodyshops clear space, stay compliant, and reduce their environmental impact without any added hassle.
We offer a free collection service, scheduled to suit how each bodyshop operates — whether that’s weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. Our aim is to fit around your workflow, not disrupt it. All collections are backed up with the correct waste transfer notes, so you can be confident everything is handled properly and in line with regulations.
We can collect and process car bumpers, headlights, hard and soft plastics, and alloy wheels. Wherever possible, we focus on repairing and reusing parts rather than simply recycling them, keeping materials in use for longer and supporting a more sustainable repair industry. This approach also helps bodyshops meet insurer and network sustainability expectations without changing how they work day-to-day.
As well as waste collection, we also buy back redundant or surplus stock. If you’ve got parts taking up space that you no longer need, we’ll offer a competitive price and turn them into extra cash, while helping you keep your workshop clear and organised.
At Eco Auto Solutions, we see ourselves as more than just a recycler. We’re a practical partner for bodyshops looking to reduce waste, free up space, and do things in a more sustainable way- all through a straightforward, reliable service you can trust.
