First Tenants Announced for Mamhilad Park's Wellbeing Hub Initiative
A new Wellbeing Hub is set to open at Mamhilad Park Estate near Pontypool with the first occupiers, Case UK and OH-One, taking an office plus a physiotherapy room.
The Wellbeing Hub is being marketed to local and regional organisations looking to start up, scale up or co-locate with other complementary operators. Set in a dedicated wing of Mamhilad House it offers space for up to 15 different businesses with flexible occupancy agreements starting from 140 sq ft and £245 + VAT per calendar month.
Mamhilad Park Estate will be the Torfaen and Monmouthshire base for Case UK, which provides mental and physical health and wellbeing services for the employed and self-employed. This includes its 'in-work service' funded by the Welsh Government and provided free to employers and the self-employed to support workplace wellbeing and help people keep working. It provides rapid access to physiotherapy, psychological and occupational therapy.
OH-One, which provides occupational health and wellbeing services to businesses across the UK, will have two physiotherapists based at the new suite, providing therapy five days a week.
Byron Hayward of Case UK said that while location was the company's primary consideration, the estate's flexible approach had also been key.
'Opening a facility at Mamhilad Park Estate is ideal for us with such great access to Torfaen, Monmouthshire and Newport as well as the 150 different businesses and their 2000 staff who work here,' he said.
'The beautiful natural setting, which fits so well with our wellbeing ethos, plus free parking for our clients, and the affordability made it an easy decision. The team here has been really accommodating and it's been really helpful to be able to move straight into a convenient temporary base here while we work with them on our permanent office.'
The Wellbeing Hub is the latest offering at the 140-acre Mamhilad Park Estate, which is already home to a wide variety of sectors, including professional services firms, creative studios, high security businesses, manufacturing, emergency services and NHS healthcare units. Its 1.4million sq. ft of office and industrial space also includes a café, nursery, gym and hair and beauty salons as well as training facilities, meeting rooms and extensive storage facilities.
James Crawford is chief executive of Johnsey Estates UK Limited, the estate's owner-managers who are also based on-site. He said they decided to launch the hub because the opportunity for wellbeing businesses has never been stronger.
He said:
'Studies consistently show that employees who are in good physical and mental health are more motivated, engaged and productive, and effective health and wellbeing programmes can see productivity increase by up to 20%.
'Mamhilad Park Estate, with our picturesque, landscaped gardens, is the perfect setting for a community of wellbeing businesses. Alongside making sure they are superbly maintained, our focus is on making sure we do all we can to give occupiers a real opportunity to thrive, with flexible, affordable space and terms.
'We are particularly pleased to welcome Case UK and OH-One as our first occupiers at the new Wellness Hub and look forward to seeing the difference that they make to local businesses that access the specialist support and healthcare that is available to them.'

The NHS will receive £6bn in funding. Here's how it will be used
Rachel Reeves has pledged a £6bn investment to accelerate NHS tests and treatments, following substantial budget increases. The funding aims to provide new scanners, ambulances, and urgent treatment centres, delivering up to four million more tests and procedures in five years. This investment supports the government's goal of reducing NHS waiting lists in England, with Labour aiming for 92 per cent of routine operations to be carried out within 18 weeks. Health Secretary Wes Streeting said the investment will generate millions more diagnostic tests, scans, and procedures, building on 3.6 million extra elective care appointments already delivered. Health leaders are sceptical, with Matthew Taylor of the NHS Confederation warning that the £29bn increase may not cover rising costs and guarantee waiting time targets, while Sarah Woolnough of the King's Fund questions how all NHS needs can be met with this settlement alone.

MS for Delyn provides several updates in this weeks column
MS for Delyn Last week in the Senedd, I paid tribute to those at the heart of our communities during Volunteers Week – volunteers, groups and organisers who work tirelessly behind the scenes. Whether it's Mold Community Clubhouse & Gardens, hospital leagues of friends or Walk & Talk Today in Ffynnongroyw, their work matters and makes a difference – and, during Pride Month, let's also celebrate the people powering our local Pride events, such as the first ever Flint Pride last year and Prestatyn Pride last weekend. In the Senedd debate, I called on the Welsh Government to build on its support for volunteers not just with funding, but through creative partnerships that help more people get involved. You watch all my questions in the Senedd on my Facebook page at The NHS matters to us all. Last week in the Senedd I talked about the challenges that remain for Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, but also the positive progress that we are seeing being made – two-year waits are down by 67 per cent over the last three years, more than 12,000 patients have come off the two-year wait list and the new Llandudno orthopaedic hub is on track to make a difference when that opens later this year. This demonstrates the difference additional funding makes, thanks to having two Labour governments working together. But investment alone isn't enough, it also takes system change and that won't work without our incredible NHS workforce. That's why during a debate in the Senedd last week, I called for reassurance that staff on the ground will be fully supported and involved in shaping the improvements we all want to see. NHS staff are key to turning around the health board – I am hopeful that we are heading in the right direction, but of course there is a lot more work to do. It was a real pleasure last week to attend the North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner Community Awards ceremony on Thursday evening. The awards recognise individuals and organisations who are making a difference and making life better for victims, for communities and supporting the police in their work right across North Wales. It was especially lovely to see the work of Louise Rudd and Heather Williams and all the team at Walk & Talk Today in Ffynnongroyw rightly recognised in the Community Champion Award. A few years back now, I joined them at the opening of their first premises and, since then, I've seen them go from strength to strength, making a real and lasting difference to the village and surrounding area. Llongyfarchiadau Walk & Talk Today! Regular readers will know that I'm passionate about amplifying young people's voices – young people are truly the future of Wales and politicians aren't always good at listening to what they have to say. Here in Wales, we have the Welsh Youth Parliament which gives young people the chance to represent their communities from their own perspectives and recently I discovered a podcast entitled 'Get Informed and Get Involved', which has been made by the Youth Voice Network for Wales. If you like podcasts, it's worth a listen – the young presenters tackle how young people can navigate social media, how to tell the difference between reliable information and misinformation and give tips on how to get involved in democracy. I recently met with campaigners from the League Against Cruel Sports and Animal Aid to discuss the urgent need to end the caged breeding of game birds in Wales. Every year, tens of thousands of pheasants and partridges are kept in tiny, wire-mesh cages and are denied the ability to move freely. There are currently no specific regulations protecting these birds and no routine inspections of game bird farms in Wales – despite public opposition and clear welfare concerns, progress has stalled for years. Residents from across my constituency have been in touch about this issue asking for real action. Wales must follow through on its commitments to animal welfare and ban cages for breeding game birds. Finally, I had the chance on Friday to visit Theatr Clwyd to see Tick, Tick… Boom, the first performance in the newly-transformed theatre which will run until June 28 – the venue is operating a phased return so that it could stay open longer during the building work. The transformation was made possible with support from Flintshire County Council, the Arts Council of Wales and £22m of Welsh Government funding and I have to say it's a stunning building which will continue to serve our communities here in North East Wales for many years to come – the new-look theatre, restaurant, community facilities and landscaped areas around it will make the theatre even more of an asset to our area. As always, if you would like advice and/or support, please don't hesitate to get in touch on any of the following contact details – 52 High Street, Mold, Flintshire, on 01352 753464 or by email You can also keep up to date via my Facebook page – Constituents are, of course, welcome to contact my office to arrange an appointment to see me, you don't need to wait for an advice surgery.

Farage was the Spending Review's real winner
When Chancellors approach a major moment like a Spending Review, they tend to have a figure in their mind's eye – someone who embodies the type of voter they hope to win over at the next election: a Mondeo man or Stevenage woman. Rachel Reeves clearly had a very specific figure in mind for today's Spending Review. But unlike her predecessors, this was no Labour voter. Her Spending Review was laser-focused on Nigel Farage. Between a laundry list of spending pledges that would have you believe Britain is in a boom, Reeves took aim at Farage. She castigated him for backing Liz Truss's mini-budget and for spending too much time at the pub (arguably one of his best attributes). However, in choosing such tangential attacks, Reeves only drew attention to Labour's fear of Farage. Labour's spending commitments confirmed they view 2029 as a two-way fight with Reform. Record funding was announced for Scotland and Wales, ahead of local elections next year in which Reform are expected to wipe the floor. Days after Farage put steel-making front and centre of his campaign for Wales – at Port Talbot, no less – Reeves made sure to underline Labour's commitment to the steel industry, reconfirming half a billion for Tata Steel. This was paired with a cash injection for up to 350 of the most deprived communities: 'Funding to improve parks, youth facilities, swimming pools and libraries', with a focus on jobs, community assets and regeneration. In the absence of a plan to deliver real wage growth and long sought-after 'renewal', Reeves is hoping that, come the next election, quick and dirty projects can be plastered onto the leaflets of Labour MPs, in time for them to claim they have actually delivered change. You don't need to look far back to see whether or not this will work. It was not that long ago that the Conservatives also gave eye-watering sums to the NHS and tried to cling on to the Red Wall with an almost identical 'levelling up' plan, based on pots of funding for local regeneration projects. They too had Green Book reviews and bus fare caps, as recycled by Reeves today. So why double down on a strategy that was hardly popular with the electorate? With Starmer's 'missions' – of which only one even got a mention from Reeves today – so closely echoing the last government's 'five priorities', you'd be forgiven for thinking that Labour strategists are suffering from collective amnesia. Labour's failure to learn from recent political history speaks to their arrogance, rooted in a deeply held belief that Britain's problems are the result of '14 years of Conservative government'. It's why they came into No. 10 with no plan or narrative for what they wanted to achieve in government. And it's why they are pursuing the same strategy, choosing the same policies, to be implemented by the same group of civil servants – yet expecting a different result. The winner? Nigel Farage.
