Granite OH was opened by Monica Walker, Director/OH Nurse Manager, and Jen McHugh, Director/Business Manager in July 2017.
The idea of Granite OH was formed when they realised that a high-quality, personable occupational health company was required in the North East of Scotland. This type of service is required for all companies, big and small.
Monica and Jen are supported by a team that have a combined total of over 20 years supporting companies with their occupational health requirements, across a wide range of sectors. This allows them to work with companies in providing a high level occupational health service to all employees.
Supporting the company, both within in the clinics and at client sites, are a great team of administrative and clinical staff
