Our mission is to improve office workers health
Yo-Yo DESK® continues to grow healthily. Since 2014 we have helped 250,000 office workers become more active up, down and around the UK, Europe and USA.
We have converted multiple corporate offices to healthy “FREE range” sit-stand offices either WFO or WFH:
Elemis
"ELEMIS® is a lifestyle brand, and we know that having a healthy working environment is important for the wellbeing of staff. Installing Yo-Yo DESKS® for the team has lifted the atmosphere in our offices - literally!"
Roxor
“Previously part of Gamesys, Roxor Gaming was formed in September 2019, and has started its own journey as a B2B supplier of content. They’re a start-up but they already have the history, the scale, market leading brands and they’re ready to take on the world.”

Luxury skincare brand ELEMIS knows that quality is key for the best results, so when they decided to introduce standing desks to their UK offices, Sit-Stand.Com's Yo-Yo DESK® was the obvious choice. The company's CEO in the US is a fan of standing desks, as is ELEMIS UK President Noella Gabriel. Noella believed it best to have desks for every employee who wanted one; so, a combination of Yo-Yo DESK® MINI, 90’s and 120’s was installed. Now they are used regularly by the 90% of office-based employees who wanted one.
Office & Facilities Manager Alexandra O'Leary explains: "We love our standing desks. They are promoting movement throughout the working day, and we now find that most people prefer to stand up to work in the afternoons. The Yo-Yo DESK fits in with our brand values and ensures staff enjoy a healthy working environment."

As a business director, I highly recommend standing desks for anyone looking to improve their workplace environment. Since we've implemented Yo-Yo DESK standing desks in our office, we've noticed a significant improvement in our employees' overall health and productivity. Our team members appreciate the option to alternate between sitting and standing, which has helped to reduce discomfort and fatigue associated with prolonged sitting.
In addition to the health benefits, standing desks have also had a positive impact on our company culture. By encouraging movement and providing an option for employees to personalize their workstations, we've fostered a more dynamic and engaging workplace. Overall, standing desks have been a valuable investment for our business, and we're thrilled with the results we've seen so far.”

We recently invested in Yo-Yo DESK standing desks for our UK employees, and the results have been amazing. Not only do our employees report feeling more energized and productive throughout the day, but we've also seen a reduction in the number of complaints related to back pain and posture. Gavin Bradley supplied us with his impressive “Active Working Seminar” and this was widely appreciated and made the educational transition to using the height adjustable desks much smoother, and take up higher.
The standing desks have quickly become a favorite among our team members, and we're thrilled to be able to offer them as a way to support the well-being of our employees."

The transition to standing desks has been a resounding success, with our staff reporting less fatigue, improved posture, and an overall boost in energy levels throughout the day. We have noticed a significant improvement in employee productivity and engagement since the introduction of these desks, and we are proud to have made this investment in our staff's well-being.
We highly recommend standing desks to any organization looking to improve the health and productivity of their employees."

Richard Smithies, founder and CEO of Unit 2 Games® computer software development company, values height adjustable desks as a essential component of a healthy work environment, and all employees are offered the chance to use a standing desk in order to support their wellbeing and performance in a competitive industry.
He explains: "In this field, people are in high demand so they can pick and choose where they want to work. We offer every member of staff a Yo-Yo DESK PRO® electric standing desk because we value the health benefits they bring. We also find that a fully electric standing desk is far more adjustable and likely to be used properly than a manually operated version, which is why we chose the Yo-Yo DESK PRO®.
"Because we have so many people using standing desks, in our offices they have become the norm and are used regularly throughout the working day. The Yo-Yo DESK PRO® Active Working training seminar really helped educate us in how and why to best use our desks which has helped ensure that our team follows active working best practices on a daily basis."
