Episode #048 | Alice Lester
Senior Brand & PR Manager at On The Tools Alice Lester joins us for a raw conversation on stigma & how construction workers are portrayed, the challenges they face, overall pressures and why campaigns like Project 7K and the Construction Industry Alert System are vital for change.
Alice also opens up about her own therapy sessions & the pair explore why people in construction find it harder to indulge in counselling, as well as covering almost every other problem the industry is currently facing.
Whether you’re a groundworker, brickie, project manager, or site director, this episode is for you.
