Wellness, thoughtfully designed.
Expertly delivered.
Personal in our approach. Uncompromising in our standards.
Mansell is a wellness consultancy and delivery partner. We help property owners, developers and employers decide what their wellness offering should be, design the spaces it needs, and run it day to day — or take on whichever part of that journey they need us for.
At Elementa Workspace’s flagship site, 1 Great St Helens, we advised on the design, equipment specification and procurement of its gym and wellness facilities. Across Elementa’s buildings, we also develop and deliver an ongoing wellness programme for the people who work there.
About James Mansell →The right team for each brief.
We work with people who are exceptional at what they do, and equally exceptional in how they work with others.
Fitness, strength & conditioning
Qualified coaches who know their discipline in depth and run every session to one standard.
Pilates & movement
Instructors chosen for the audience and the space, from studio classes to mobility work.
Massage & recovery
Therapists matched to what each site and its people need.
Consultancy & design
Led personally by James, from the first brief to the finished space.
In our experience, workplace wellbeing amenities are underused.
Three ways it usually goes wrong
Wellbeing is just a decoration.
A subscription or a perk, launched once, mentioned in the induction pack, never checked again.
There's a lack of ownership.
HR holds the budget, facilities holds the space, and nobody checks whether it helps.
Point solutions, no through-line.
An app here, a discount there — none of it scoped to what your team actually needs.
Wellbeing matters, and it works when someone is accountable.
964,000 people took time off work last year because of stress made worse by their job. (HSE, 2024/25)
9.4 days average employee absence a year — up from 5.8 pre-pandemic, with mental health now the single biggest cause. (CIPD, 2025)
One partner, at every stage.
Whether you’re creating something new or making an existing offer work harder, use one service, a combination, or the full end-to-end solution.
Consultancy & design
Strategy, space and specification.
Gym and wellness space design, equipment specification and procurement advice, reviews of existing facilities, and recruitment consultancy.

Our client Elementa’s ‘Science at Work’ campaign argues a workspace earns its place by what it makes possible; for the business, and for the people in it. The Elevate programme, designed and delivered by Mansell, puts that thinking into practice daily: a practitioner who shows up, a session that clears someone’s head, a body that copes better with a demanding week. Live across two flagship sites since 2026 — the Elevate programme’s feedback tells the story.
Wellbeing decisions got made after the space was already fitted out — nobody with the right expertise had signed off on any of it.
Now running across two Elementa sites, on a plan built for each space and the people in it, with one accountable partner from design through to delivery.
Elevate participant survey, 100+ respondents.
“As with any significant investment, success depends on finding the right balance between ambition, customer experience and commercial performance. James brought that balance throughout the project. His ability to align stakeholders, challenge assumptions and maintain focus on long-term value was instrumental in achieving the outcome we see today. The finished product reflects the quality of his thinking and the professionalism he brought to every stage of the journey.”
Henry Horsfall · Chief Operating Officer, Elementa Workspace
“What sets Mansell apart is their ability to turn ambitious ideas into deliverable outcomes. Many people can contribute to strategy, many can advise on design, and many can support operations. It is far rarer to find a team who can successfully connect all three whilst bringing stakeholders with them on the journey.”
Ben Curtis · Director of Workplace Strategy & Brand Delivery, Elementa Workspace
“I’ve been weight training on my own for quite a while, but having someone there who can pick up on things with my technique and suggest ways to improve has made a massive difference. It’s also great motivation to push yourself that little bit harder than you might on your own. It definitely makes you show up for yourself!”
