Re-MOO-ving stress in the workplace


Picture the scene - farm yard (Longley Farm), snapper (aka Owen Phillips) and willing client (Yorkshire Therapies' Marsha Dawson) - the brief was simple - shoot the client with the cows (not literally), hence demonstrating the intrinsic benefics of massage and complementary therapies to employees in the workplace. Oh no, not a simple thing. Cue relunctant Jersey, nervous yet brave client and intrepid snapper. Needless to say we decamped to a safer enclosure of cute calves. Job done.

The Longley Farm produces some of the nation’s favourite dairy products and the agreed to take an unconventional approach to maximising productivity - enlisting the help of Huddersfield based complementary therapy practice Yorkshire Therapies.


Whether a calm workforce is the secret ingredient in Longely Farm’s delicious products they wouldn’t say, but the massages received an overwhelming thumbs up from Longley’s staff (the cows however now have a deep distrust of anyone with a camera or smelling of tea tree).
