#144 - The Printing Charity: starting the conversation about mental health in our industry, With Neil Lovell, CEO, Printing Charity

 In this podcast interview we talk with CEO of the Printing Charity in the UK, Neil Lovell. We talk of the story behind the establishment of the Printing Charity nearly 200 years ago, the evolving role of the organisation and also why supporting mental health is becoming such an important role the charity plays to support the people who work within the printing industry. The interview with Neil I found to be somewhat of a feel good discussion as this organisation's unique purpose is to help, support and give back to the industry by giving print businesses the tools to support their employees and their families whether it is on a practical or emotional level. 

Printing Charity CEO Neil Lovell joined the organisation in February 2016. He began his career working in advertising, rising to Regional Director with responsibility for six offices. In-house roles as Director of Communications for One-2-One / T-Mobile, then RAC Plc, followed, where he led on the development and delivery of internal and external communication programmes. Neil moved to the not-for-profit sector in 2009, initially working on fundraising and external relations. Prior to joining the Printing Charity, Neil was CEO of the Jamie Oliver Food Foundation.
