Alex, tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got to where you are today?

My background is in market research and data driven performance and I am a big advocate for continuous professional development; with both the LGB team and myself always learning something new.

Can you provide an overview of Little Green Button and its mission as an onscreen panic alarm software company?

Originating from the pioneering realm of digital healthcare, our journey began under the banner of Wiggly Amps. We offered a range of transformative online services such as interactive check-in screens at GP surgeries, seamless weight measurements, comprehensive consultations, and streamlined prescription services. Our innovative solutions extended to creating and maintaining GP websites, revolutionising the digital presence in healthcare.

In 2019, Boots recognised our potential and acquired Wiggly Amps, leveraging our innovative technology to give their customers unprecedented access to their GP records for ordering prescriptions online. This pivotal move was a stepping stone towards empowering individuals to manage their healthcare needs more effectively and efficiently. It not only simplified and expedited the process for patients, but also provided robust support to the NHS over the long term.

The acquisition of Wiggly Amps paved the way for the formation of Little Green Button and our sister company Engage Health, to chart their own course of growth and development. We are proud of our history and we remain committed to our mission of helping keep staff safe around the globe.

Little Green Button is an onscreen panic alarm software company with a mission to help keep staff safe. Our software provides a reliable and efficient solution for organisations to summon immediate assistance from colleagues in emergency situations. Although this sounds simple the majority of workplaces are reactive, only seeking to implement policy, procedure and technology once an incident has occurred onsite. We are constantly trying to educate and advise workplaces across all sectors about the benefits of a proactive approach and how this can reduce workplace violence as well as improve staff wellbeing and retention.

We’ve crafted a comprehensive guides designed to empower businesses in enhancing their employees’ safety. Resources range from checklists for safety in various sectors as well as a guide “Go from reactive to proactive” and a valuable 5 step frameworks for conducting dynamic risk assessments.
