About Us
A trusted family business serving the North East for over 15 years
Our Story
Occupational Health North East (OHNE) is a family-run business based in Sunderland, providing professional occupational health services across the North East of England.
For over 15 years, we've been helping employers keep their workforce healthy, safe, and productive. We understand the challenges businesses face when employees are unwell or when health and safety compliance needs to be maintained.
Our approach is simple: provide high-quality, flexible occupational health services without the complexity of long-term contracts or expensive retainers. We work on a pay-as-you-go basis, meaning you only pay for what you need, when you need it.
Based at Doxford Business Park in Sunderland, we serve clients across the entire North East region, from Teesside to Tyneside and beyond. Our clients range from small local businesses to larger organisations across construction, manufacturing, engineering, pharmaceutical, and waste management sectors.

This collaborative approach means you get the best of both worlds: the personal service and flexibility of a family business, with access to wider specialist resources when needed.
