Occupational Health and Training Services

What Occupational Health and Training Services does

Occupational Health and Training Services (OHTS) is a privately held UK occupational health provider founded by Linda Jones, a Specialist Occupational Health Nurse, and headquartered in Newton Aycliffe, County Durham. The company serves businesses across Durham and Teesside in North East England with a portfolio that includes health surveillance (audiometry, spirometry, HAVS, and skin assessments), management referrals, an Employee Assistance Program branded as Platinum Wellbeing (positioned as a Proactive EAP with quarterly health score questionnaires), drug and alcohol testing, health promotion services, a virtual GP add-on, and a catalogue of paid training courses covering audiometry, spirometry, vision, skin, functional work assessment, and wellbeing champions. Service delivery is channelled through three modalities — on-site via a fully equipped mobile screening unit, at the OHTS clinic, or virtually — allowing clients to choose the format that suits their operations. A team of approximately 7 includes clinical staff (OH nurses and a mobile OH technician), a Quality & Service Delivery Manager, a Wellbeing & Commercial lead, and business support administration.

The technology backbone is Orchid Live, OHTS's proprietary occupational health management software platform launched in April 2025, which replaced the prior Apollo system. Orchid Live integrates with client HR software, manages referrals and appointments, automates recall reminders for surveillance due dates, tracks case status from triage through completion, and provides an online reporting portal for clients. The platform is positioned as both an internal operating system for OHTS clinicians and a self-service client interface. Strategic partnerships support the broader offering: OH-Partners co-delivers certified training at OHTS's venue, and Teesside Health Co underpins the Platinum Wellbeing Proactive EAP that Harry Rowbotham developed.

OHTS operates a mixed B2B revenue model. Recurring subscription revenue comes from EAP contracts priced between £0.75 and £10+ per employee per month, with optional Friends & Family coverage from £1.75 per employee per month and add-on Virtual GP plans. Health surveillance is delivered as ongoing programmes billed per assessment or under retainer. Management referrals and drug and alcohol testing are billed as professional services. Training courses carry explicit per-delegate pricing (e.g., audiometry £595, spirometry £495, vision £350). The company markets through its website, a weekly Occupational Health Weekly newsletter, video tutorials, social media, and client zone, and displays 15+ client logos including named enterprise accounts such as PSI Global and INEOS. OHTS is a Private Limited Company (Occupational Health & Training Services Ltd) with no disclosed external funding and is solely owned by founder Linda Jones.
