Ethan Thomas

Ethan Thomas is the founder of Brighter Being and winner of Best Under-25s Business Start-up in Wales for his work on disease prevention in the workforce. Working-age people are struggling more than ever to manage their health, with chronic conditions rising sharply across the workforce. Ethan’s workplace seminars show teams how to cut their risk of bowel cancer, heart disease, diabetes, early-onset Alzheimer’s and obesity, with practical advice built around the realities of busy working life. After the seminars’ success, he built the Brighter Being app to turn that advice into everyday habits, combining nutrition and weight management support, movement, breathwork and partnerships with local wellbeing businesses. UK employers are now using it to reduce sickness absence and improve employee wellbeing, and users say it’s the first tool that makes healthy living genuinely achievable alongside work. Ethan’s mission is to make disease prevention easy, accessible and enjoyable for working professionals.
