Poolview's Robin McGloughlin in conversation with Jo Talbot - Commercial Director of the RLSS UK.
In this episode we hear how Jo got into Lifeguarding and how her attention to detail probably was the reason that she was "nudged reluctantly" into Health and Safety.
Jo takes us through her career steps from Group Lifeguard Manager with DC Leisure to the RLSS UK and her current role.
We talk about 45,000 miles per year on the road, new contract start ups, the Save a Life Series, the challenges for the RLSS UK and their members during the pandemic, on-line training and CPD.
We hear about a hopeful 2021 and a hint of the new developments coming.
