Tezlom appoints brand manager and mental health ambassador

With 15 franchises around the UK, Tezlom helps place passionate carers in roles that give them personal and financial rewards

As Tezlom accelerates its plans to become the UK’s leading domestic healthcare recruitment franchise, it has welcomed Kay Lou Haskins, a recognised breath coach and cold-water therapist, to head office to support the network’s physical and mental health.

As an ambassador for the fast-growing recruitment franchise, Kay Lou’s role is to alleviate stress and anxiety within the network as franchisees step-up their operations and help place more care workers in vital roles around the UK.

Having worked closely with the BFA at the Empowering Women in Business events and with other major brands, including multinational retailer Aldi, Kay Lou understands the demands that large-scale corporations have on employees, including the intricacies of the franchise industry. Kay Lou’s expertise and passion will support Tezlom’s team to manage feelings of stress, anxiety, panic, overwhelm, and burnout and to nurture the franchise network towards gaining a healthier perspective on their daily habits and how they live.

“I’m incredibly proud to have been welcomed into the Tezlom head office with such open arms,” said Kay Lou. “Having battled with my own mental health, I know how valuable breath work, cold water therapy and mindfulness practices can be to alleviate the strains, worries and pressures that can come naturally with important jobs and fast-paced environments.

“Everyone deserves to have access to people that can support their mental health and wellbeing, so it’s a testament to Tezlom that they recognised the importance of my role – especially as they grow and scale up their own operations. Tezlom’s values closely align with my own, so it feels amazing to be welcomed into a brand that, fundamentally, has caring at its core.”

Founder and managing director, Ryan Armitage, believes this is the start of many franchise brands following suit and creating job opportunities for avid or enthusiastic wellbeing experts.

“We’re delighted to be welcoming Kay Lou to the Tezlom team, and we believe this an example of how the recruitment and franchise industries are evolving,” said Ryan. “We all know that working in the sector is high pressure and we can often lose sight of our own wellbeing, so having someone here that understands and relates with the brand and mission is incredibly positive. This is the start of a significant period for the recruitment and franchise industry, as other brands will begin to see the value Kay Lou brings to our entire operation.”
