ICI, Billingham, healthy eating campaign, a week when the workforce has the choice of low
ICI, Billingham, healthy eating campaign, a week when the workforce has the choice of low cholesterol, low fat food for lunch. Catering and medical staff put their heads together to plan the recipes with the emphasis on fitness. As workers queued up to make their choice at lunchtime, medical officers stood by with literature on why they should eat lots of fibre and not so much fat. " Each day we have one hot main course, one salad and one sweet specially designed to be healthy", said site catering manager, Mike Hartley. " We are not dictating what people eat, but saying it is available." 29th July 1985

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints captures a significant moment in the history of ICI, Billingham. It showcases a healthy eating campaign that took place during the week depicted in the image. The workforce was given the choice of low cholesterol and low-fat food options for lunch, promoting fitness and well-being. The collaboration between catering and medical staff is evident as they put their heads together to plan recipes that prioritize health. As workers eagerly queued up to make their selection at lunchtime, medical officers stood by with informative literature on why consuming fiber-rich foods and reducing fat intake is beneficial. Mike Hartley, the site catering manager, proudly stated that each day featured one hot main course, one salad, and one sweet dish specifically designed to be healthy. He emphasized that they were not dictating what people should eat but rather making these nutritious options readily available. The photograph transports us back to July 29th, 1985 – an era characterized by industrial growth in Billingham, County Durham. It reflects both the dedication of ICI employees towards their own well-being and the company's commitment to fostering a healthier workplace environment. Through this image captured by Mirrorpix photographers, we catch a glimpse of British industry during the 1980s – where canteens played an essential role in nourishing hardworking staff members within chemical manufacturing companies like ICI.
