💚 WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY 2026 | 10 OCTOBER 💚
This World Mental Health Day, we’re shining a light on men’s mental health and the pressures faced by those working in the construction industry. 👷♂️
Construction can be demanding, both physically and mentally. Long hours, tight deadlines and the pressure to get the job done can all take their toll. Too often, there’s still a feeling that you have to put on a brave face and just get on with it.
📊 THE FACTS:
🔹 83% of construction workers surveyed experienced anxiety in the previous year.
🔹 60% experienced depression in the previous year.
🔹 27% reported having suicidal thoughts in the previous year.
These figures come from the The CIOB ’s 2025 research into mental health in construction. They highlight why we need to take mental wellbeing seriously and keep the conversation going. 💚
Yesterday, we took an extended brew break with bacon and sausage butties (and fruit for some… 🍌🍎), giving our team time to step away from the job, enjoy each other’s company and check in with one another. Sometimes, the little things can make a big difference. 🥓☕
Some of the lads from EPS - Team PR7 and Select Windows joined in at our Mawdesley new build site too!
