Meet Team CHAMPS

Locations

You can locate our HQ in London, with our core team being based in London and the South of England.

As a business we are huge advocates of both flexible and remote working. Previously as a business, we delivered in-person across the length and breadth of the UK, but the pandemic opened an opportunity to partner remotely with global clients, without the high impact to the environment with overseas travel. This enables us to work with organisations with multi-national sites and remote teams.

We offer our workshops in French, German, and Spanish and have translated our content into many different languages.

We also have a new team based in the US in California.

What People Are Saying

“The best part of working with CHAMPS was Ruth’s responsiveness and flexibility. Everyone who has attended thought the course was invaluable. People have taken so much away from it, not just for the workplace but home life too. It’s got people talking about mental well-being is an open way that we never had before.”

We love working with Ruth and the CHAMPS team, they are friendly, efficient and extremely professional. Colleagues have commented how relaxed they feel in the course to discuss their own personal issues and how they can use these to support their colleagues in the workplace.”
