This weeks Safer Than Your Average will be with Colin Russell. Colin was Director of Safety at Thomas Cook, an organisation close to my heart as my wife was part of the TCX family 💛.

The most enthused I’ve ever seen my wife about safety (after listening to me passionately jabber on for years) was after completing the Safe@Heart training Colin wrote for TCX. My oldest daughter was a tiny baby and was missing her mum who was in Woodford for training and we decided to visit for a couple of days. My wife brought me the Safe@Heart notes home from the training and this was my first introduction to CRM!

As always big shout out to our friends Inside Out Group for the amazing editing support.
