Resilience in Practice – The Wellbox Story

As part of our ‘Building and Embedding Resilience’ miniseries, PrOPEL Hub Knowledge Exchange Associate, Nicola Murray, speaks to founder of Wellbox, Justin Gilchrist. Wellbox creates health, wellbeing and food-based gifts, primarily targeted to companies with staff working from home or in remote locations.  

In the video, Justin shares the story of the creation of Wellbox when his existing corporate catering business was hit hard by the global pandemic. Nicola and Justin discuss the role of resilience in creating a thriving business out of adversity.
