Tomorrow is World Mental Health Day, and this year's theme, “Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change," reminds us that one of the most meaningful things we can do for someone is simply listen.

Whether it's a colleague, friend, family member or someone on site, taking the time to check in and genuinely hear what they have to say can make a bigger difference than we realise. Mental health conversations don't require all the answers. Often, they just require empathy, understanding and a safe space to talk.

Throughout September, Mental Health Awareness was our SMART Objective. We shared resources, delivered presentations and encouraged conversations about mental wellbeing. While that campaign has now come to an end, the message behind it remains just as important. Every conversation, every check-in and every act of support has the power to make a difference.

Creating healthier workplaces and stronger communities isn't about a single month of activity. It's about building a culture where people feel comfortable speaking up, know they will be listened to, and understand that support is available when they need it.

This World Mental Health Day, let's keep the conversation going.

💚 Take a moment to check in with someone.
💚 Listen without judgement.
💚 Help make sure every voice feels heard.

Because mental health matters every day of the year.

If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available. Samaritans (116 123), the The Lighthouse Charity (0345 605 1956) and Bigmoose all offer support for those who need someone to talk to.

What an inspiring evening at the Child of Wales Awards 2026.

Green Hat was proud to attend and sponsor the Young Leader Award at this year's ceremony, held at Swansea Building Society Arena . As sponsors of this category, it was a privilege to celebrate young people whose leadership, determination and commitment are making a meaningful difference to their communities across Wales.

We were delighted to present the Young Leader Award to Cathryn Moore. At just 19 years old, Cathryn is making an outstanding contribution to her community through her role as an on-call firefighter, while also supporting young people through coaching and teaching vital lifesaving skills. Her dedication, resilience and commitment to helping others make her a truly deserving winner.

"At Green Hat, we are proud to sponsor the Young Leader Award at the Child of Wales Awards, celebrating young people who make a positive impact through leadership, determination and a commitment to others. Their achievements show that making a difference has no age limit."
— Andrew Warring, Managing Director

The Child of Wales Awards shine a spotlight on remarkable young people whose resilience, compassion and positive actions are helping shape a brighter future for Wales. Their stories were inspiring and uplifting, serving as a powerful reminder of the positive impact individuals can have on the lives of others.

Congratulations to Cathryn, and to all finalists, nominees and winners. Your achievements deserve to be recognised, and your impact reaches far beyond the awards stage.

A huge thank you to the organisers, sponsors and everyone involved in delivering such a memorable event. It was an honour to celebrate alongside organisations, families and communities from across Wales and to recognise some truly exceptional people

We're delighted to share that Tom Thiele has been promoted to Lead Technical Consultant at Green Hat Consulting.

Since joining Green Hat, Tom has become a highly valued member of the team, consistently demonstrating strong technical expertise, a solutions-focused mindset, and a commitment to delivering practical, high-quality outcomes for our clients.

What makes this promotion particularly well deserved is that it reflects far more than technical capability. Tom has continually shown a willingness to support colleagues, share knowledge, take ownership of complex challenges, and contribute to the ongoing development of our technical services. His professionalism, reliability, and collaborative approach have earned the respect of both clients and the wider Green Hat team.

As our business continues to grow and evolve, strong technical leadership is essential to maintaining the standards our clients expect. We're proud to have someone with Tom's knowledge, experience, and dedication helping to lead that journey and support the next phase of our technical consultancy services.

Congratulations, Tom. This promotion is a fantastic achievement, thoroughly deserved, and we're excited to see the impact you'll continue to make in your new role as Lead Technical Consultant.

As October is typically one of the wettest months of the year, the risk of slips, trips and falls increases significantly. Wet surfaces, fallen leaves, muddy access routes and reduced visibility can all contribute to workplace accidents.

This month's SMART Objective focuses on reducing lost time incidents through increased observations, inspections and effective management of pedestrian routes and workplace hazards.

Slips, trips and falls account for around 30% of all non-fatal workplace injuries in Great Britain, making them one of the most common causes of accidents at work. Whilst often viewed as minor incidents, they can result in serious injuries, lost working time and significant disruption.

⚠️ Common Causes
💧 Wet floors, mud and leaves
🔌 Trailing cables and obstructions
🕳️ Uneven surfaces and damaged flooring
💡 Poor lighting and visibility
👢 Inappropriate footwear

✅ Prevention
• Keep walkways clear
• Clean up spills immediately
• Report hazards promptly
• Wear suitable footwear
• Follow a "See It, Sort It" approach
Let's work together to prevent slips, trips and falls this October.

Recently, Andrew Warring had the privilege of visiting Excel Home Design Ltd's remarkable church conversion project, led by Russell Everett.

What began as a vision over seven years ago has been transformed into something truly exceptional. The attention to detail, craftsmanship and unwavering commitment to quality are evident throughout every aspect of the project.

More than a showroom, this space demonstrates what can be achieved when ambition, expertise and perseverance come together. It is a fantastic showcase of the standards that Russell and the Excel Home Design team consistently deliver.

We are incredibly proud to have played a small part in supporting this project and would like to congratulate Russell and his team on an outstanding achievement.

A brilliant example of turning vision into reality.

Since we started in 2013, we’ve always been proud to be an independent consultancy.

A lot has changed since then, both at Green Hat and across the wider industry. We’ve grown our team, developed our services and taken on increasingly ambitious projects, but we’ve never wanted to lose the personal approach that helped us get here.

Being independent means we can stay close to the businesses we support. We can respond quickly, make our own decisions and shape our advice around what each organisation genuinely needs.

Our relationships are the best proof of our approach. Port Talbot Brickwork, the first business to place its trust in us, still works with us today. We’ve also worked alongside Blues Electrical for 12 years and are trusted to support Raven Delta Group with Health & Safety and Bouygues Construction across Principal Designer projects.

For us, that longevity comes from getting to know the people behind each business, understanding how they work and being there as their needs change.

None of this would be possible without our team. Their expertise, ideas and commitment allow us to provide the personal, practical and dependable support that those we work alongside have come to expect.

The industry will continue to evolve, and so will we. But we’re proud to remain independent, proud of the relationships we’ve built and grateful to the people who make it all happen.

We’ve been independent since day one. It’s shaped the way we work, the relationships we build and the decisions we make, and we’re committed to keeping it that way.

Members of the Green Hat team came together for a Macmillan Cancer Support Coffee Morning, enjoying plenty of coffee, cake, and good company, all in support of a fantastic cause. Those who couldn't attend in person also got involved by making donations, helping to make the event a success.

As a small business, we know that making a difference is not about size. It is about people coming together to support one another and contribute to something bigger than themselves. Every conversation, every slice of cake, and every donation helps make an impact for those affected by cancer.

We're incredibly proud of our team for getting involved and helping create such a warm and welcoming atmosphere around the office. We'd also like to thank those who couldn't attend but still contributed through donations, helping to support the event.

So far, together we have raised £185 for Macmillan Cancer Support. 💚

Over the last decade, Lucas Lofts Ltd has grown from its roots as a family-run carpentry business into a trusted name for loft conversions and home extensions, built on skilled craftsmanship, reliability, and doing right by its customers.

Led by two brothers who are clearly passionate about what they do, their success hasn't just come from the quality of their work. It's come from the values behind it. A strong work ethic, genuine pride in every project, and a commitment to helping customers feel supported throughout what can often be a daunting process.

Just as importantly, they're investing in the future of the industry. Having both learnt their trade through apprenticeships, they're now helping the next generation develop the same skills, knowledge, and standards that have become synonymous with the Lucas Lofts name.

That's why we're delighted to welcome Lucas Lofts & Developments Ltd to Green Hat's bespoke retainer service.

We're looking forward to supporting a business that cares so deeply about quality, people, and getting the job done properly.

Welcome aboard 👏

As part of our September SMART Objective on Mental Health Awareness and in support of Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, we're continuing our commitment to creating a workplace where wellbeing matters just as much as safety.

This month, we're shining a spotlight on our Wellbeing Champions, Joanne Warring and Phil Camm. These voluntary roles help promote a positive, supportive workplace culture, encourage open conversations around mental health, and signpost colleagues towards trusted wellbeing resources when needed.

The role of a Wellbeing Champion isn't to provide counselling or act as a mental health professional. Instead, they help create an environment where people feel comfortable talking, know where to find support, and are reminded that they don't have to face challenges alone.

💚 Creating a supportive workplace starts with looking out for one another. A conversation, a check-in, or simply taking the time to listen can make more of a difference than we realise.

If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available. Samaritans (116 123), the Lighthouse Charity (0345 605 1956) andBigmoose e all offer support for those who need someone to talk to.

Today we're celebrating National Fitness Day, an annual campaign led by Ukactive that highlights the positive role physical activity plays in helping people lead healthier, happier lives.

This year's theme, "Powered By You", reminds us that everyone has a role to play in their own health and wellbeing journey. Whether you're training for an event, building strength, returning to a sport you love, or simply taking the first step towards a healthier lifestyle, every bit of movement counts.

At Green Hat, fitness looks different for everyone:

🔥 Tom Thiele has returned to CrossFit after four years away from competition, embracing the challenge of starting his fitness journey all over again.

🏋️ Thomas Moore combines bodybuilding and powerlifting-style training at Ware-House Gym Taibach, recently achieving a 200kg squat and 210kg deadlift, while also taking part in the Macmillan Cancer Support Mighty Hike.

🏃‍♀️ Koran Thomas is preparing for both the Cardiff and Valencia Half Marathons after completing the Bournemouth Half Marathon, alongside her training with Nuke Fitness.

⚡ James Gregory balances road running, trail running, HIIT and HYROX training, with the Swansea 10K, Cardiff Half Marathon and Snowdon Marathon firmly in his sights.

For Andrew Warring, fitness has been about taking a leap and staying consistent:

"Twenty years ago, I last went to the gym. 12 months ago, I decided it was time to make a change. Since then, I've lost over 40 pounds, gained muscle and have more energy than ever, and genuinely feel better both physically and mentally.

A reminder that it's never too late to invest in yourself. Small, consistent steps really do make a difference. Here's to keeping the momentum going."

National Fitness Day isn't just about one day of activity. It's about taking small, sustainable steps towards a healthier and stronger future.

Whatever your goal, remember that progress looks different for everyone, and every journey starts with a single step. 👟
