GFSB Launches Wellness Series
The Gibraltar Federation of Small Businesses (GFSB) has launched a brand-new
wellness events series, sponsored by Infinity Group. The initiative aims to support the health and
wellbeing of small business employees and employers in Gibraltar, equipping them with the
knowledge and resources to foster healthier workplaces.
Wellbeing at Work: A Critical Focus for Businesses
In recent years, workplace wellbeing has become a crucial topic for businesses of all sizes, and the
GFSB recognises the need for tailored support for smaller enterprises. While larger organisations
often have access to extensive wellness resources, many smaller businesses may face challenges in
this area.
“We wanted to design a number of sessions that focus on specific areas of wellness that are
particularly timely and relevant for our members,” explained a GFSB Board Member Dr Karl Alvarez.
“Through this series, we are ensuring that businesses of all sizes in Gibraltar, including smaller firms,
can access essential wellbeing information and advice.”
The Infinity Group, the event series sponsor, shared their enthusiasm for supporting this initiative.
“The Infinity Group is committed to creating wellness spaces that support the fitness, health and the
general well-being of our members. Our aim is to have all our members ‘live healthier for longer’.”
Free Access for GFSB Members, Available to Non-Members
Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Infinity Group, these wellness events will be offered free of
charge to GFSB members, with non-members able to attend for a small administrative fee.
Upcoming Wellness Series Events
Following the September launch, the wellness series will continue with the following events:
- Women’s Wellbeing: Peri/Menopause Focus – Wednesday 16th October 2024
- Men’s Wellbeing Event – Thursday 21st November 2024
- Event Subject TBC – Thursday 12th December 2024

What a Year!
What a year it's been! From the Treaty moving from negotiation to reality to AI, workplace pensions, business confidence and everything in between, this year's Thrive EDIT has helped members navigate one of the busiest periods in Gibraltar's recent history.

Could Gibraltar be missing a golden opportunity? GFSB Board Director Brian Ross believes the answer is yes. In this thought-provoking opinion piece, he argues that Gibraltar should consider a residency route for financially self-sufficient individuals, attracting experienced people with the wealth, expertise and international networks to strengthen our economy. Could this be the next step in keeping Gibraltar competitive?
Education
Growing Beyond the Owner
For many SMEs, the success of the business has been built on the expertise, relationships and commitment of its owner. This entrepreneurial approach has been instrumental in the growth of many of Gibraltar's successful businesses. However, as organisations develop, dependence on a single individual can become a strategic risk.
