Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, and our Trade & Construction team is honoured to join forces with boxing legend Ricky Hatton for the ‘Hitman Rises’ campaign—a series of timely mental health awareness-raising projects. With data from the Office for National Statistics showing that construction workers are now nearly four times more likely to take their own lives than in any other sector, Ricky, who worked as a tradesman before achieving boxing fame, wants to use his experiences to help others turn around this worrying industry trend. The ‘Hitman Rises’ campaign, which has included Q&A sessions with WAA Chosen’s portfolio of trade and construction industry clients such as Jewson and Speedy Hire, is designed to show mental health sufferers that conversation is crucial, and that seeking help is the first step to happiness. Let’s make a difference together. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #MentalHealthMatters #HitmanRises
