Sheffield wellbeing firm acquires European company in multi-million pound deal

A Sheffield-based health and wellbeing provider has announced its acquisition of a European corporate fitness company.

Westfield Health has purchased High Five Health Promotion in a multi-million pound acquisition.

By combining forces with High Five Health Promotion, which provides onsite corporate fitness and wellbeing services to global brands such as Daimler, KPMG, Shell and NATO, Westfield Health hopes to further strengthen its whole-of-workforce proposition to drive market development and growth.

Westfield Health CEO, Dave Capper, commented: “Over its history, Westfield Health has built a track record of product innovation. This acquisition represents a continuation of our diversification into the exciting and important wellbeing market.

“By combining the two companies’ expertise, we can accelerate our growth in this industry both in the UK and internationally, allowing us to make a healthy difference to more people.”

High Five Health Promotion founder, Paul Kienstra, added: “it was really important to us to find a company that shared our values and vision.

“With Westfield Health’s focus on evidence-based, preventative solutions and community giveback, it was clear that our shared philosophy and complementary capabilities would combine well, building on the success of both companies.”
