Another fantastic week delivering training and consultancy across the UK.

This week saw courses delivered in Cardiff, Stratford and Barnet, alongside two consultancy projects in Kent. A huge thank you to everyone who attended, shared their experiences and contributed to some great discussions.

These are just a few snapshots from the week where photos were possible. Many of the businesses I work with understandably prefer not to be photographed, so not every course or project makes it into these updates.

It's always a privilege to support businesses and individuals with practical, engaging training that helps build confidence and competence in the workplace.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended the mental health courses these past two weeks from Pace Group , HSS Hire , plus Robert Gerrard & Co Limited

The more we talk about mental health, the more we help break down barriers and encourage people to seek support when they need it.

I'll be honest, I haven't felt mentally fully charged myself over the past few weeks, so those conversations were a reminder of just how powerful openness, connection and genuine support can be.

Thank you for sharing your experiences, contributing to the discussion, and helping create a space where mental health can be talked about openly.

Feeling incredibly chuffed! 🎉

I'm fully booked for June, with only 4 training days remaining in July.

This has been the strongest first half of a year I've had since becoming self-employed, and I'm genuinely grateful to every business and individual who has trusted me to deliver their training.

Whether it's First Aid, Mental Health, Health & Safety, Fire Safety, Manual Handling, Asbestos Awareness, Working at Height, or Abrasive Wheels training, it's a privilege to work with so many fantastic organisations and meet so many great people along the way.

If you're looking to arrange training for your team and would like to secure one of the remaining July dates (or start planning ahead for August and beyond), please get in touch.

Thank you for all the continued support – it really does mean a lot. 🙏

What a fantastic day at The Lift Industry Mental Health Charter football tournament last week.

It was a real privilege to be there, not only as a supporter of such an important cause but also as a committee member of the Charter, helping to champion mental health awareness across the lift industry.

A huge well done to everyone involved, especially those working tirelessly behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly.

Unfortunately, I was only able to stay for a couple of hours, but I was looking forward to following the rest of the afternoon's action and finding out who ultimately took home the trophy

Lovely to spend Monday 11th May 2026 with the team at TARGET LIFTS LTD facilitating a First Aid for Mental Hralth course on behalf of The Lift Industry Mental Health Charter

Being the first day of Mental Health Awareness Week made delivering this course even more meaningful.

The 10 attendees welcomed me warmly and created a space where I could be honest and vulnerable, and for that I am hugely grateful. As always, I took away just as much as I hope I gave.

The Charter is passionate about driving mental health awareness within the lift industry every day, but it also recognises the value of awareness weeks like this. They give us an important opportunity to pause, reflect, and continue conversations that can make a real difference.

Thank you again to everyone at Target Lifts Ltd for your openness, honesty, and willingness to engage with such an important subject. 🫶

For Day 2 of Mental Health Awareness Week, I had the pleasure of visiting Thatchers Hotel to deliver an Asbestos Awareness course for the team at ICON Lifts Ltd

Although Asbestos is often discussed in terms of physical health, concerns about exposure can naturally affect a person’s mental wellbeing too. Worry about what exposure might mean for the future, along with the effects of an asbestos-related illness, can lead to stress, anxiety, and uncertainty. In some cases, people may experience chronic pain, reduced mobility, increased isolation, and changes to relationships with family and friends, all of which can have a significant impact on mental health. Having the right knowledge and understanding is a positive step in helping people feel more confident and reassured in their work.

A big thank you to everyone who attended. I really appreciate how engaged you were throughout the session and your willingness to share your own experiences and knowledge.

It’s always rewarding to work with teams who contribute so openly, helping to bring the training to life and making it even more relevant to their day-to-day roles.

Great to spend time last week with the team at Amalgamated Lifts Ltd delivering Working at Height and Fire Safety Awareness training.

With their engineers regularly working in high-risk environments, these sessions provided a practical refresher on identifying hazards, managing risks, and following safe systems of work.

The highlight of the day was getting outside and having some fun using the fire extinguishers—always a great way to build confidence.

Thank you to everyone for your engagement and for sharing your experiences throughout the day. It’s always a pleasure to work with businesses that are genuinely committed to keeping their people safe.

Where has the time gone! I cannot believe it has been three weeks since my last post. As much as I aim to post daily, it’s not always possible. So, as I clock off for my nephew's wedding this Easter weekend, and before I'm back to work in Cardiff on Easter Monday, it felt like the best time to pause and reflect.

This has been my strongest Q1 since I started trading and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has booked with me and trusted me with your staff compliance training.

Q2 is shaping up to be just as busy. April is fully booked, I only have a couple of dates remaining in May and June dates going in now.

That said, it’s not too late to make an enquiry for your workplace compliance training. Visit my website at www.petrainservices.co.uk to view my course offerings, or drop me a message to chat about your requirements.

Wishing you all a wonderful Easter break.
