Andy Cam and Todd Glister look at the different pressures facing tradespeople, from the day-to-day demands of the job and running a business to the wider financial and economic pressures affecting the industry. Connie Pawsey, Steven Blair and Sophie Keepence AKA Plumby Mummy chat about their own experiences with stress, how they cope with pressure, who they turn to when things get difficult, and whether attitudes towards mental health in the trades are finally changing.
