Case Study: Clerkenwell & Co. — Bristol Solicitors

The Challenge: This 120-employee law firm was struggling with an 18% absenteeism rate, declining employee morale (satisfaction score of 6.2/10), and high staff turnover that was affecting client service quality.

Our Solution: We implemented a comprehensive three-phase approach over 12 months:

Phase 1: On-site gym installation with Technogym equipment (3-month rollout)
Phase 2: Weekly group fitness classes at 6:30 AM, 12:30 PM, and 5:30 PM
Phase 3: Quarterly health assessments for all staff members

"COR didn't just install equipment — they changed how we think about our team's energy. The investment paid for itself in reduced sick pay alone. Our solicitors are sharper, more focused, and genuinely happier at work."

— Sarah Tierney, HR Director, Clerkenwell & Co.
