A different approach
CH Consulting works with organisations to design and implement alcohol, drug and gambling policies that are not just compliant — but genuinely effective.
The expertise of CH Consulting
13+ years of personal sobriety from alcohol dependency, providing the kind of insight into behaviour, shame, denial and recovery that no textbook can replicate
A Masters Degree in Comparative Drug and Alcohol Studies from Middlesex University
15+ years in high-pressure commercial sales environments - including senior enterprise software roles - navigating workplace cultures where alcohol, and increasingly gambling, were deeply embedded in professional life
Early career experience in manual trades - industries where substance misuse rates are among the highest in the UK workforce - providing rare credibility with organisations in construction, logistics and similar sectors
CIPD Affiliate Membership and the CIPD Accreditation in ‘Leading Organisational Design and Development’ - ensuring every recommendation is grounded in recognised best practice and fully aligned with UK employment law
The Core Belief
Workplaces are one of the most powerful environments for early detection, intervention and sustainable recovery. An employee who is supported - rather than managed out - does not just recover. They often become among the most loyal, resilient and committed members of a team.
At the same time, organisations have legal obligations under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and reputational and commercial exposure that cannot be ignored. Effective policy is not just the right thing to do - it is a sound business decision.
“Compassion and accountability are not in conflict. A well-designed policy holds both together”
