Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Thrive Hour | EP 166 |
Q: What can employers and colleagues do to spot when somebody might need a bit of support in their team?
Solloway-Price recommends getting to know colleagues beyond routine work interactions, noticing subtle cues, asking how they are more than once, listening actively and ensuring they can access support.
The Thrive Hour | EP 166 |
Q: What exactly is Thrive and why did Logistics UK feel it was needed?
Solloway-Price describes Thrive as an online mental health and wellbeing hub with trusted resources and practical tools for everyone working in logistics. It was created to offer tangible support while broader issues, such as a lack of driver facilities, take time to address.
Truckfest - Colin Ward | EP 151 |
Q: Was it an easy thing to organize the first Truckfest, and were you surprised when people actually turned up?
Ward explains there was significant stress around the initial idea and weather, but the turnout exceeded expectations and established the festival as a durable annual event.
Sue Alty & Ruth Tuffnell | EP 139 |
Q: Start with you, Sue. How did you first kind of end up in the world of trucking?
Sue describes an accidental transition from retail logistics into HR and consultancy, then pivoting into logistics and trucking after COVID highlighted gaps, leading to the MyTruckStop concept as a solution to driver welfare and feedback.
Transport News Weekly | EP 146 |
Q: How might current political and global events affect UK haulage in the near term?
Prolonged Middle East tensions and associated fuel price volatility are likely to keep drivers and fleets cautious, with potential government action on fuel duty and economic measures to mitigate cost pressures.
