Hull occupational health specialist Latus has returned to its overhauled Chanterlands Avenue home as it gears up for significant growth.

The company has invested in the redevelopment of the gym and sports ground, which it has owned since 2014. The first stage of an extensive redevelopment of the site has been completed, with a new open plan office installed for Latus’ leadership, clinical and operations teams, as well as new therapy and treatment rooms.

The move back from Melton, made to handle initial expansion, comes as the company prepares for an anticipated growth to 400 employees in 2023. It also eases the provision of a host of wellbeing perks for the team, launched by three brothers with rugby league and royal marine backgrounds.

Jack Latus, chief executive of Latus Health said: “Moving our HQ back to where we first started back in 2011, at what was then the YPI sports ground, is a really exciting opportunity for Latus. The business has come a long way since the early days of coaching athletes out of the first squash court we rented. Since then we have grown our occupational health business to be one of the º£½ÇÊÓƵ’s leading providers of health and wellbeing services and have grown from a three man band to a team of highly motivated talented people, all working towards our mission of changing the way businesses think about health at work.”

The state-of-the-art gym and wellbeing centre will be completed before the end of the year and will boast top of the range equipment and a number of cutting edge health treatments, as the company brings its gym and occupational health offer together under one roof.

The centre will boast a full E-gym suite, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, cryotherapy, medical grade infrared sauna therapy and advanced medical and fitness testing. It is central to Latus’ plans to provide a connected, holistic approach to health and wellbeing.

Sam Latus, chief operating officer at Latus Health, said: “Moving our office space back to where the Latus Gym is, provides easier access for our team to engage in their own health programmes. We have always worked hard to ‘practise what we preach’ when it comes to the health and wellbeing of our own employees, and having the gym facilities and health clinic on the same site as our office space means we can now boast some of the best workplace wellbeing facilities of any business in the country.”
