Start date revealed for Westfield Health’s enterprise hub opening

Westfield Health’s relocation and expansion has moved closer to completion with dates confirmed for the opening of what will be a new ‘hub for health and wellbeing’ in the heart of Sheffield.

Moving into new headquarters in the former Milton House on Charter Row, the health insurer’s new premises - Westfield House - will feature a new Customer Hub and business lounge.

Redeveloping an eight storey building, the new premises will include incubator spaces and an enterprise hub to support the growth of health and wellbeing start-ups.

To facilitate the transfer, Westfield Health will close for business at 6pm on Thursday 15 September to enable IT, telephone and email switch over and the transfer of staff the following day. Westfield Health will reopen for business on Monday 19 September in the new building.

Chief Executive at Westfield Health, Jill Davies, said: “The move is a major milestone for both Westfield Health and the city of Sheffield.

“The new offices will offer a remarkable health and wellbeing hub for our teams, customers, the people of Sheffield and wider population.

“We’re already working with a number of agencies to progress the opportunities offered by the incubator spaces and enterprise hub and we’re excited that shortly we will be announcing more about how start-ups can apply to work with us, as well as news of organisations relocating to the hub.

“This move places us firmly at the forefront of our sector as we continue to expand.

“Through our partnerships with the Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre at the thriving Olympic Legacy Park, Business Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University, we are exploring how research and cutting-edge technology can be developed to support the population in terms of physical and emotional health and wellbeing, as well as care.

“Our new building will enable us to take this further, bringing health, wellbeing and care solutions to the people of Sheffield and beyond,” added Jill.
