This episode lands during Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to spotlight the conversations we too often avoid, especially in industries where toughness is worn like a badge of honour. Today, we’re tackling a subject that affects more people than we realise, but rarely gets the airtime it deserves: mental health in the workplace, particularly for men.

We’re incredibly grateful to be joined by a brilliant panel:

🛠️ Scott Walker, Managing Director at A W Walker Building Contractors, who’s breaking the silence on-site and sharing his personal journey with anxiety. 📊 Christopher Harrison, Director at Chadwick Accountants, who opens up about the pressures of leadership and the stigma he faced around mental health. 💬 And the unstoppable Kristel Pari, our Client Account Manager and wellbeing advocate, who knows how to spot the signs and support the people behind the roles.

From dark humour in construction to the quiet stress behind closed office doors, this conversation gets honest, sometimes heavy, but always hopeful.

In this Property Series, Rachael is joined by one of our Senior Accountants at Chadwicks, James (Monty) Montague and we’re asking the big question: So you think you're a property investor? Or… is your buy-to-let dream actually a cash-draining nightmare?

We break down the real costs of property investment, challenge some dangerous myths, and explain why your tenants aren’t actually paying your mortgage. Whether you're already investing or just thinking about it, this episode will help you run the numbers before your finances run away from you.

Today, we’re diving into the career of Colin Parselle, a finance leader who made it to FD in his early 30s, steered companies through crises like Travel liquidation during COVID, and isn’t afraid to talk about failures, imposter syndrome, and what it really takes to succeed.

Colin shares lessons that every finance professional and business owner needs to hear, from making bold career leaps and leading through tough times. Not forgetting, guilty financial pleasures, dream CFO swaps, and why buying a 20-year-old BMW might not be the smartest investment.
