Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for food & drink manufacturing
It's 4am and the first shift is already gowned up on the line. Food production runs on early starts, hygiene-critical concentration and seasonal surges that stretch everyone thin. Spill gives your team a therapist the same day they ask, booked by text from any phone, with total privacy: no forms, no manager referral, nobody at work knows. It's £75 a month for the whole team.
Same day counselling sessions
Rolling 30 day contract
Unlimited access from £75 per month

The mental load of hygiene-critical food production
Mental ill-health is the single biggest cause of long-term sickness absence in manufacturing, around 40% of cases (Make UK, 2024). In food and drink production, the pressure has a particular shape: hygiene-critical lines where concentration can't slip, early shifts that wreck sleep, and seasonal surges that stretch everyone. Support has to fit around shifts, or it goes unused.
Leading cause of absence
Mental ill-health is the single biggest cause of long-term sickness absence in manufacturing, around 40% of cases. (Make UK, 2024)
Intention to leave
Over half of manufacturing workers would look for a new job if their wellbeing wasn't supported. (Make UK, 2024)
Work harming wellbeing
Nearly 1 in 4 manufacturing workers say their work environment harms their mental health. (Make UK, 2024)
What better support means for your factory
Absence on a hygiene-critical line means agency cover, retraining and risk. Spill helps your team deal with problems early, privately and around their shifts, which keeps experienced people on the line and off long-term sick.

Build resilience on the front line
Give your team practical tools to handle rush-hour pressure, difficult customers and long days on their feet.

All-in-one EAP for your team
Unlimited counselling sessions
A private way for line and office staff to talk to a qualified therapist, booked by SMS from any phone around shift patterns. Same-day availability from 7am to 9:30pm, seven days a week, with no forms.
Self-guided wellbeing resources
A library of practical, evidence-based resources written by licensed therapists who understand the unique pressures manufacturing workers face. Covering over 200 topics from stress and fatigue to financial wellbeing and sleep, our online resources can be accessed at any time. They're a great first step for anyone who's not quite ready to speak to a counsellor directly.
Expert guidance and training
Practical, therapist-led training workshops designed to empower staff to spot mental health presentations within nurseries, schools and universities and know how to appropriately respond. Teachers can also check in with a Spill safeguarding clinician for advice at any time.
