Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Suicide and Self Harm Prevention, Liz Twist MP, visited Galliford Try to learn about the business's approach to supporting the mental health of its workforce.

The visit came as part of Liz Twist's fellowship of the Industry and Parliamentary Trust, of which Galliford Try is a member, where she is focusing on mental health in the construction sector.

The Industry and Parliament Trust is a Parliamentary owned charity trust that aims to bring cross-party politics and industry closer. The trust offers a fellowship programme, which enables MPs and other parliamentarians to visit businesses in an effort to expand their knowledge on challenges faced by the industry.


Liz attended Building London & South East Commercial’s Charing Cross site in Central London and received a presentation on the subjects of our wellbeing aims, and the key challenges that we face in our industry.

Vikki Skene, HR Director for Galliford Try, commented: "We were delighted to be able to host Liz at our Charing Cross Road site and demonstrate to her the work we are undertaking across our business to improve mental health and wellbeing for our people.

"Mental health issues continue to gain prominence in the construction industry and rightly so after many years of concerns being brushed aside. As a business we are determined to play our part in making sure this remains at the top of the agenda and people are able to receive the help and support they need."
