Mental Health Matters, with its main office located in Bicester, Oxfordshire is a fast-expanding mind wellness consultancy and training company who have just taken an exciting step forward as the business continues to grow via word of mouth reputation, professionalism and a fresh, unique way of approaching workplace mental health.
Mark Warwick is the founder of the Mental Health Matters and is a Veteran from the Royal Logistic Corps (RLC). He has been running the company by himself this past year, but Mark has had to endure frustrating limitations as to what he has been able to achieve in his efforts to grow the business due to the physical and mental disabilities, in particular Post Traumatic Stress Disorder – PTSD that he has suffered as a consequence of his military experiences and business career to date. And unfortunately, both Mark’s physical and mental wellbeing have both been gradually deteriorating over the past few months.
Inspired by Mark’s passion and vision, retired Army Major David Carter who is also ex RLC has now joined the company as the Managing Director to provide additional structure, business acumen and consistency. Mental Health Matters is now at a key phase in its growth due to an increasing number of interested prospects and work commitments coming through. David has come on board to assist Mark in providing the much needed mental health awareness training for businesses in order to combat the time off work that employees have to take due to stress as well as the lack of productivity within the working environment that currently costs UK economy an estimated £75 – £100 Billion.
Having served for almost 20 years as an army officer David then spent over 6 years with a consultancy practice starting in a business manager role before quickly being promoted to a director and management board member with full P&L accountability for a £5 million+ business unit. David is an Associate of the Institute for Independent Business, as well as being a member of the Entrepreneurs Network and for the past 5 years he has been providing leadership consultancy, business advice and communication training for ambitious business owners on how they can maximise their marketing, sales, operations, finances and growth potential using Pareto’s 80:20 Rule.

I am seen as the face of the company and due to my mental and physical injuries I can be at times a little ’too real’ for people, with no ‘PC’ filter so to speak. I accept and take ownership of that, so David is also here to guide me and demonstrate reliability, consistency and our full support to perspective and current clients, ensuring them that we can and will deliver what we promise, meeting all their expectations”
