Ever wonder what traction the SureWerx staff wear? Melissa from Marketing shares her favorite traction model: “Walking my dogs is a breeze, no matter the season, thanks to the K1 Series. Icy winter sidewalks are no match for my K1 Low Profile cleats and the K1 Series SafeGrip on slippery summer docks has my back”. Not sure what your pick would be?

Innovation isn't always shiny new (expensive) or complicated, it can simply be using something commonplace in a new way. The £101 million of new funding announced for Active Travel today is of course welcome to help address the staggering 1.5B car trips being made every year for journeys of less than a mile. But what is really exciting, is things like the side road zebra trials moving to the conclusion, a process started 4 years ago in Greater Manchester. Allowing the well-understood stripes to be used where they can do the most good, at the mouth of side roads, showed huge benefits in those on-road trials conducted in Tameside. 65% more drivers stopped for people to cross and 8:10 parents and carers preferred it. This is a simple, very affordable and fast way to transform the school run, give more kids transport independence and reduce stress for those that are a little slower to cross. Like many places across the country, Greater Manchester has committed to making active travel the foundation of its transport network, a move that will also increase its catchment for public transport 10 fold, so secure vital bus and train services. And their approach is working. Since that video was filmed in 2021 the number of very short car journeys in the region have dropped by a staggering *100 million* trips a year. Imagine if we use simple methods like this across the whole country and make cycling, walking and wheeling easier. We will all win. https://lnkd.in/eSJRy4pb

So this is an interesting moment. Well, I say this moment; I’ve had my fair share of interesting moments over the course of the past 48yrs, peaking quite incredibly a couple of years ago with events you would expect to see in a movie and say, “that’s just not realistic”. Or does art really just imitate life? There’s been an awful lot of chatter about mental health over the past few years. My takeaway is that everyone has their challenges, their battles to fight and you can’t take anyone’s situation out of context. I was taught to simply crack on, work hard and never quit, while always treating people fairly and being a decent human being – and it’s got me to where I am today. I am incredibly fortunate to have had the mental fortitude to deal with everything that’s been thrown at me (sometimes for no good reason - as the saying goes, jealousy makes people tell the worst lies about you). But it’s not easy. Every day is hard. The world reflects your attitude so you put on a smile and try to make it look easy; but the truth is, it takes guts. Guts, perseverance, hard work, patience and resilience – all before you get to any sort of talent, experience or ability. There simply is no shortcut, you just have to double down and work your socks off, even when the gremlins try their best to knock you to your knees, and bury you. But the real glory is being knocked to your knees, and coming back. That’s real glory. That’s the essence of it. Or as my very good friend and partner Callum Kempe would say, I’m kinda like Herpes – I just keep coming back!! “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts”. Winston Churchill. I am incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by numerous good people. Smart, talented, genuinely decent human beings who make the journey worthwhile, and remind you why you get out of bed every day. I am humbled to call them friends and colleagues, and to have their trust. HOLD Self Storage may be one year old, but we’ve achieved an incredible amount together in such a short time and that is thanks not only to our refusal to quit and be beaten by others, but thanks to the trust, resilience and faith every member of this #team has for HOLD and for each other. We are on a journey to create something special, building on all our combined experience and talents, determined to build back better, faster, stronger than before. HOLD on to your hats… Paul Kempe Chris Forsyth Deon Louw Sonia Maria Pirie Lex Ajanaku Stuart MacRae Will Sowerby Tom Batting Georgina Gallagher James Preddy Armeet Ghataora Daniel Ramirez John Minter Claire Rai With thanks to all our partners - you know who you are - your support has been incredible, it's humbling to know there are so many decent people in the world. #mentalhealth #entrepreneurship #resilience
