A TEESSIDE entrepreneur has launched a platform to help people maintain their physical and mental health during the pandemic.

After identifying the difficulty friends and family were facing remaining active and healthy during the lockdown, the CEO of Productive Plus has put his skills to good use by developing Platinum Wellbeing.

Harry Rowbotham, 22, said: “As an occupational health and wellbeing professional a lot of my work involves visiting businesses and talking with staff about their work and trying to improve their processes and habits in order for them to make the most of their working day. But since lockdown the world has changed so much, that I now find myself talking with clients and friends about how they are struggling to remain active or focused in the home, which made me realise I needed to adapt."

With a small monthly fee, Platinum Wellbeing is an online community which uses daily content such as workouts and seminars to help members stay healthy.
