Westfield Health opens new Active Space in Sheffield

MAC Construction Consultants provides specialist assistance on project

Health and wellbeing provider Westfield Health has expanded its offering in Sheffield with the opening of a new staff gym facility – an Active Space – on the lower floor of its Charter Row Headquarters building.

The provision of the state-of-the-art facility was overseen by leading construction consultants MAC.

The opening follows the formation of a strategic partnership, the first of its kind in the UK health and wellbeing industry, between Westfield Health and EXOS – a US-based human performance company.

MAC Construction Consultants successfully managed the fit-out of the gym and associated facilities and ensured that Westfield Health’s high-quality standards were maintained.

Dave Capper, CEO of Westfield Health, said: “The Active Space provides our people with accessible, high-quality opportunities to get active.

“We know that the health impacts of a sedentary lifestyle are too significant to ignore, and it’s time companies of all sizes play their part in keeping the nation moving”.

Barry Smith, Director of Building Consultancy and Project Services at MAC Construction Consultants who oversaw the construction and fit-out of the new facility commented: “I find it really rewarding to work on projects which provide something which is missing from the market.“This new facility will help Westfield Health in their ambitions to remain at the forefront of innovations within the healthcare arena and continue to be one of the leading wellbeing providers within the UK.”
