Abie Hearn

In my role as Head of Bid Quality, I create the right environment for teams to thrive, believe the right culture is what leads to the success and overall health of a business, its people and its customers and this is at the heart of my leadership style.

 

In my spare time, I like gardening and walking, it keeps me sane!

 

I also volunteer for a men's mental health organisation, I'm supporting them to get to charitable status, the application to the Charities Commission has just been submitted so fingers crossed! The organisation has been set up with the intention of creating the right environment for men to talk, break down barriers and enjoy activities together, they run Mental Health First Aid courses too but this is more about self-care.

 

You might ask why? It's not completely altruistic on my part, I lost a member of my team to suicide in January 2023 and since then, rather than dwell on not 'hearing him' in life, I've put my efforts in to trying to prevent another one and supporting the men in my teams in a completely different way.
