Joy Junction was founded in 2023 by Gary Butterfield in God's Own County of Yorkshire; centre of the Universe. Home to the world famous Yorkshire Pudding, Britain's oldest pub in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, and, of course, Yorkshire Tea, we're a proudly Northern business.
We bring our County humour, charm, and straightforwardness to clients throughout the UK and beyond... no jargon, no fluff, just honest conversations and meaningful results. With nearly 20 years of experience in wellbeing, HR, leadership, and organisational development, we've seen first-hand that when people feel valued, supported, and connected, the organisation thrives.
Our work is rooted in a human-first approach. We champion real conversation, practical tools, and small, everyday actions that add up to lasting change. We're not here to tick boxes, we're here to create workplaces where people genuinely want to be, and where wellbeing and performance go hand in hand.
From our base in Leeds, we collaborate with organisations of all sizes, from public sector giants to small innovative charities, always bringing our mix of expertise, creativity, and that no-nonsense Yorkshire common sense.
At Joy Junction, we're on a mission to make joy a business strategy.
We face challenges with confidence and buoyancy, turning obstacles into opportunities for growth. Our culture of honest communication ensures every voice is heard and valued, building transparency and trust.
Committed to fairness and integrity, we treat our clients, partners, and team members with respect and equity. We value teamwork and mutual support, striving to make a positive impact on our community and planet.
We promote a balanced approach to work, recognising that wellbeing is crucial for sustained success. Practicing self-discipline, we manage our work and personal commitments effectively, and respond thoughtfully to challenges.
Our decisions are guided by rationality, knowledge, and experience, considering both short-term benefits and long-term consequences. We encourage continuous learning and growth, embracing new ideas from both successes and setbacks.
