On 8 July, Freight Train collaborated with Flourish in Mind to host a Mental Health First Aid England Mental Health Awareness training half day.
The event was born out of the success of the Flourish in Mind mental health awareness presentation at the Freight People June forum and was attended by transport colleagues eager to look after the mental health of their teams.
The feedback was phenomenal and we shall be collaborating with Flourish in Mind to offer future courses to Freight Train/Freight People colleagues.
‘Brilliant as usual, great speakers, I personally got so much from the ER presentation, it took the smoke away from going forward and the processes’
‘Just wanted to say thank you for another Fab event – always enjoy Mike’s presentation’s but I really liked the guy from the DVSA – I am definitely going to be looking into Earned Recognition…… I will definitely be signing up for the July forum……. Oh and it helped you giving your experience – I love that you are so open and honest….’
‘I have been working with Lesley through the networking group ‘Freight People’. Lesley started this group early 2020. The Network has grown from strength to strength in a short space of time. This is partly due to Lesley’s industry knowledge but also, her pioneering approach to bring together a group of Transport and Logistics professionals with industry leaders adding great value and expertise at each session.’
‘Lesley’s passion and enthusiasm for the freight industry is infectious. One of the things I most admire about her is how she loves to share her knowledge to assist others. She has a way of bringing us all together, the latest example of this has been the on line forum she has recently set up. She has been a great support to me over the last few years and a great mentor and I know I can always rely on her for sensible guidance. She is the ultimate professional and I love working with her. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her.’
‘Well, where do I start? I really look up to Lesley as she has the ability to bring people together and bring a fresh twist to her industry. Lesley is incredibly knowledgeable; she is a fantastic speaker and a great host. She is passionate; she is authentic and always thrives for more. Execution is her thing!’
‘Lesley is a brilliant and dedicated logistics expert with a passion for her industry that shines through in her work, both at Freightlink and for She’s RHA. I interviewed and spent time with Lesley on many occasions while covering the road haulage sector for Motor Transport/Commercial Motor and she was invariably well informed, knowledgeable, and open minded and driven. I know many women – and men – in the road transport sectors that have endless respect for Lesley.’
