MUSGROVE AND BALL HELP BUSINESSES
UNDERSTAND EMPLOYEE ADDICTION AND ALCOHOL
PROBLEMS IN THE WORKPLACE
We were founded in 2022 by Patrick Ball and Sophie Musgrove after both overcoming addiction issues stemming back over a decade.
The company was born after noticing a huge problem in the business world, organisations struggle to cope with the stigma around alcoholism and addiction.
Most people can have a healthy relationship with alcohol, but addiction doesn’t discriminate. Anyone can develop a problem at any time.
Only one in five people get the help they need with their alcohol problem.
The other four could be working for you!
We Can Help
A Day In The Life Of Musgrove And Ball
17 million working days are lost in the UK due to alcohol misuse alone, that’s 5% of all absences.
Companies have started to put employees through mental health first aid courses, but for many it is merely a tick box exercise.
We want businesses to understand how they can educate employees about alcohol and drug dependence and teach their staff that if they find they have a problem, that they are approachable and show that they want to support the employee.
“At AtkinsRealis, we had the pleasure of inviting Patrick from Musgrove and Ball to attend the AtkinsRealis Safety Standup for the Feltham Phase 3/4&5 and the level Crossing projects. What can i say words are not enough to understand the depths of pain and self-destruction that Patrick went through along with his family. And to hear that story brought tears to many individuals that attended. And when finished you could hear a pin drop. This is one of the most inspirational speakers that i have had the pleasure to attend. I cannot encourage you enough to engage with Patrick from Musgrave and Ball and hear his story.”
