TALKS IN ACTION

A selection of organisations Rob has worked with and the difference it made.

Thames Valley Construction & Civil Engineering

January 2026

Newport, South Wales

What Rob delivered

Rob attended a two-day company-wide new year safe start event, engaging with approximately 100 members of staff ranging from apprentices to directors. His presentation emphasised the importance of prioritising staff wellbeing and seeking support when necessary. Rob also provided one-to-one support to several members of staff who approached him during the event.

Hi Rob — just a quick note to thank you for your talk at our Safe Start Event. First class and very professional! Presenting to a construction audience isn't easy and it must be draining on occasion speaking so honestly and openly. I could relate to everything you said and your story was very similar to mine. Look forward to seeing you again sometime!

What Rob delivered

Rob has delivered multiple lived experience talks across several major Laing O'Rourke projects, working closely with the health and safety team to support site workers. He has also arranged additional wellbeing support for team members and engaged individually with workers who wanted to discuss their own mental health challenges.

Rob has given fantastic support at our recent mental health and wellbeing events, delivering powerful talks about his personal experiences, the challenges he faced and how he sought help and overcame them. His warmth, authenticity, and genuine care for people resonated strongly with the project team. Rob took the time to speak individually with anyone who wanted to discuss their own mental health and wellbeing challenges, creating a supportive and open environment for meaningful conversations. He is a passionate advocate for mental health and wellbeing and will fully support any related initiatives. I look forward to working with Rob again in the near future.

His involvement has helped build the knowledge, confidence and skills of those around him to better support colleagues facing mental health challenges.

Rob's passion for improving mental health in construction is evident in everything he does. His work is not simply about raising awareness; it is about changing lives, breaking down stigma and ensuring that people know they are not alone. His commitment to supporting others is inspiring, and the positive impact he continues to have across our industry is immeasurable. I am incredibly grateful for everything Rob has done for me personally and for the countless others he continues to help every day.

You can talk about what you're going through and still be every bit the construction worker you've always been.
