Lotus adopts the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy scheme to Work Out at Work and is supported by TEAM GB Olympic medal winner Anthony Ogogo

 

 

 

 

Together with Team GB Olympic medal winner Anthony Ogogo, Lotus staff took to the Hethel test track in a bid to improve their fitness, thanks to a new scheme from the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy. Lotus has chosen to support the scheme as it fits very much into the company’s own Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme. The Work out at Work day initiative encourages employees to assess their usual working day with the aim to include more physical activity, no matter how small. The benefits for the smallest of changes can be huge for one’s well-being and general health. Approximately, half of Lotus’ 1000 staff donned their running shoes and joined Lowestoft-born Olympian Anthony Ogogo on the 2.2 mile test track for a brisk walk over the lunch period. Some chose to walk, others to jog and in true Lotus spirit some sought to take the chequered flag - on roller blades! Also on hand was chartered physiotherapist Richard Morford and personal trainer Duane Smith offering fitness advice alongside Lotus’ own personnel that advocate the company’s commitment to occupational health.

 

Lotus Occupational Health Nurse, Lizzy Hampson: ‘Busy schedules have meant staff are increasingly not taking their lunch break and staying put at their desks. Whilst we recognise this is everyone’s choice it is our intention to advocate balance in the workday and encourage staff to go have a walk, take a break and rejuvenate. It’s in everyone’s interest to be fit and healthy and this is very much part of the company’s commitment to staff under the Lotus CSR program.’

 

Chartered Physiotherapist Richard Morford: “We know that healthy employees are more productive, have higher morale and are less likely to experience ailments making them unable to work. Health and fitness is critical to not only physical health but is important for mental health also. It’s great to see organisations such as Lotus adopting this worthwhile CSR initiative and setting the precedent for the corporate community.

 

Olympic Medal Winner, Anthony Agogo: “This is certainly a brilliant initiative and great that Lotus have adopted it and made it part of their working day. Fitness is so important, after all, it’s what my career has been based on. When I go into the ring, the biggest threat I can give my opponent is if I am fitter, and consequently stronger than the opposition, to do that I have to ensure my body gets the exercise it needs to deliver the performance I need to win. Everyone wins through exercise.”

 

The Hethel workforce certainly appeared enamoured with the scheme. ‘It’s a brilliant way to spend your lunchtime and if your work pals are taking part you feel inclined to join in’ said one. ‘Certainly gets you thinking about your fitness in general and how to de-stress and relax a bit’ commented another.

 

The Work Out at Work Scheme will see thousands of employees across the country taking part in activities to get them moving.

  • Servicing.....self or garage? Which are you?

    So, I did a Forum 'service' and 'servicing' search, but couldn't find much about the topic specifically. So thought Id kick one off instead. Servicing. Self or Garage? Lotus are renowned for the servicing required. Lots of specialists out there, and it does come at a premium. But... Changing things like oil, filters, brake/clutch fluids etc, are pretty much the same on a Lotus as on most other combustion engines. The Lotus Service Guides have the full list of things to cover too,

    S1 Type 49 Elise Refresh

    And so the winter refresh of my S1 Elise started today. Hoping to take front clam of tomorrow. However of the 4 lower bolts that hold the lower rear to the chassis, 2 are spinning and 2 won't budge despite copious amounts of penetrative oil over the last few months. The Eagle eyed will spot my Dremel tool which I'm not looking forward to using to remove 4 bolt heads that have limited access. Currently on my list are replacing the driving lights brackets, shot blast and paint the tow post, n

    S2 driver side indicator fail

    Hello all, just out curiosity has anybody else experienced either one of there front side indicators taking flight mid drive ? I was driving back from Whitchurch yesterday and mine decided to do exactly that.  haven’t hit any pot holes, nor had I previously loosened it off around the seals etc…. Just very bizarre as I’ve never had a car like this where bits and pieces just fly off lol.  also when getting a replacement as I have now ordered are there any ‘upgrades’ you can do to prevent this

    Handbrake covers....whats yours look like?

    Ok, so my 2006 S2 has no handbrake cover. Looks like that's how most come out of the factory. Gear shift has the standard perforated leather. Im looking at the option of getting a HB cover, preferably to match the gear leaver cover, looking to keep it as OEM as possible.  What have other owners done with their handbrakes? Aftermarket to match? Or a set to swap out for a new look? Nearly all I have seen go over the top and outside. Any neat ones that tuck inside the HB slot? Show u
