Ian Simpson: People leader, CrossFitter, charity founder

2021/09/15

At the start of the pandemic, Ian was 24 stone and ‘fed up’ with himself. As a child, he was victim to sexual abuse – something he still carries on his shoulders today. He suffered from depression, anxiety and mental ill health because he didn’t speak out. Over the years, he’s learned to deal with it in his own ways, talk about it and, selflessly, created a foundation to help others who might be experiencing the same struggles. Safe Family Safe Children aims to support and empower survivors

Digital is a fundamental part of our children’s lives now – when the pandemic hit, our lives became underpinned by technology for work, education and relationships. And while it was a huge saviour, many young children were thrust into this online world without a lot of preparation. Parents worry about bullying and graphic content, amongst other things, and that’s where Internet Matters comes in. A non-profit organisation created to help keep families safe online.

Lockdown and remote working when you’re in charge of monitoring the service level of a network brings its own challenges. Service level manager Stephen Cooper tells presenter Dominic Laurie all about how he brings IT and networks to life through pictures…another of the many angles to working in tech…and how he’s had to adapt through the last year.

She previously worked in customer service and is a full-time carer for her mum and grandma.

Christian Eriksen’s cardiac arrest on the pitch during a Euro match shocked the world of football. What happened to the Danish player is rare. However it certainly isn’t unheard of. Something similar happened to our colleague Emma Brennan in an equally dramatic setting: an operating theatre, only months after becoming a new mum. Thankfully, four years later she has a thriving career at TalkTalk, and is here to tell the tale to our presenter, Dominic Laurie.
