When work works for people, everything else falls into place.

Gary Butterfield, Founder of Joy Junction, has worked in wellbeing for shy of 20 years. 

From his time in the fitness industry supporting individuals, as backroom staff in professional Rugby Union prepping athletes, and working with many large, household brands on their employee wellbeing proposition, Gary draws on experience from multiple perspectives.

We’ve seen first hand that when people feel valued, supported, and connected, performance thrives. A proudly Northern business based in Leeds, Yorkshire, centre of the universe, Joy Junction operates throughout the UK. We believe that a straightforward, human-first, and jargon-free approach to the world of employee wellbeing brings the most meaningful and impactful results. 

We champion easy user journeys, real conversations, practical frameworks and 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.

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.
