A Suffolk haulage boss who shared his struggle with mental health in a post on LinkedIn has become a social media sensation.
Olly Magnus
took over as chief executive of Ipswich-based Magnus Group in 2019 after the death of his father, who founded the firm.
The Great Blakenham-based business included a fleet of more than 50 articulated vehicles and 120 staff. It has continued to do well following a recruitment drive.
