Construction workers are being urged to be more open and drop the masculine swagger as a leading company tries to improve builders’ mental health.
Ipswich-based SEH French Building sent all its directors and managers, including contracts and site managers on a two-day training course to improve awareness of mental illness across the workforce.
The firm which is part of One Group Construction says it wants to tackle masculine stereotypes and is calling on other businesses to follow suit.
Director Simon Girling pointed out a “grossly disproportionate” number of men took their own lives in 2019 at around three quarters because they didn’t feel comfortable enough to talk openly about their emotional struggles.

Malabu: Anti-graft group threatens to sue Adoke over alleged defamation
HEDA claims that Mr Adoke s allegation that its chair, Mr Suraju, forged an email document tendered in a Milan court is defamatory.
An anti-corruption organisation,
Human and Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA), has given a former justice minister, Mohammed Adoke, two weeks to retract an allegation of forgery levelled against its chairman, Olanrewaju Suraju.
HEDA, in a statement signed by Mr Suraju, threatened to sue Mr Adoke in the United Kingdom should he fail to retract the forgery allegation.
The
threat comes on the heel of an earlier similar threat by the UK anti-corruption group, Corner House, which is HEDA’s partner in respect of the prosecution of Malabu scandal. The UK group threatened legal action in response to Mr Adoke’s petition to the police accusing Mr Suraju of forgery.
