Welcome to the Purple Co website. I'm Jo Muirhead, the owner and principal rehabilitation consultant.
As our tagline - Purpose for People - suggests, the Purple Co team and I are experienced consultants that are passionate about facilitating the return to work process for those who have suffered physical or psychological injury. We've become sought after for complex cases where return to work seems unlikely for most, and it's our passion to show clients that they can still find purposeful employment and restore purpose in their lives.
Purple Co is a team of specialised consultants who thrive on the outcomes we achieve for our clients. So much so that we also host a variety of training events for those in the industry to promote collaboration and knowledge sharing.
