Mental Health Keynote Speaker — Construction — Wigan
Construction in Wigan has the highest male suicide rate of any sector. Danny Sculthorpe delivers keynotes that cut through the silence on site.
Mental Health Keynote Speaker for Construction in Wigan
Construction workers in Wigan are three times more likely to die by suicide than the national average. The industry has the highest male suicide rate of any sector in the UK — driven by job insecurity, long hours, physical pressure and a toughness culture that makes asking for help almost impossible.
Danny Sculthorpe delivers keynotes to construction companies and site teams across Wigan and the North West. His background as a professional rugby league player — a world where the same toughness culture operates — means he connects with construction audiences in a way that conventional speakers simply don't. He's not there to lecture. He's there to have an honest conversation that changes something.
Whether it's a site toolbox talk, a company conference or a health and safety awareness day, Danny's keynote delivers the kind of impact that stays with people long after they leave the room.
"First time I've seen the whole site go quiet. Usually can't get them to sit still for five minutes."
