Ironman 70.3 — it’s officially in full swing 🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️

I decided I needed another challenge to work towards, so this year I’m taking on a Half Ironman (70.3).

Week 2 of training and I stacked a 25km ride with a 12km run in 1hr 46mins before work this morning.

It’s been a challenging week in more ways than one, so I think a Friday blowout is exactly what I’ve earned! 😂

But there’s a bigger reason behind doing this.

Along the way, I’m going to raise money for two charities that have supported people very close to me:

💙 Alzheimer’s Research UK
💚 Macmillan Cancer Support

Over the coming months, I’ll be posting regularly about the training—the good sessions, the terrible ones, the progress, the setbacks and probably plenty of moments where I question why on earth I signed up for this.

I’m going to put myself through the mill and hopefully come out the other side ready to complete 70.3 miles.

This is going to be a journey.

Follow along, keep me accountable and, when the fundraising goes live, please support these two brilliant charities if you can.

Let’s see what I’m capable of 👊

End of Day 2 – SSSTS ✅

I’ve had the pleasure of teaching a fantastic group of delegates over the last couple of days.

As always, there’s been a good mixture of great conversation, some hard-hitting messages, necessary legal compliance and, importantly, plenty of laughs along the way.

For me, good health and safety training shouldn’t just be about passing a course. It should give people something they can take back to site, challenge the way they think, and ultimately help them become better supervisors.

A great couple of days with a really engaged group 👏

If you or your team need SSSTS training, either at our training centre or delivered specifically for your organisation, get in touch with JRS Training & Assessment to discuss upcoming dates and group bookings.

Grenfell and the Construction Sector

Yesterday I attended the Grenfell briefing event at the University of Plymouth, delivered exceptionally well by Peter Apps and supported by the event sponsors.

It was a powerful and thought-provoking session.

Hearing the catalogue of failures that led up to the Grenfell Tower disaster is incredibly difficult, particularly when you consider how many opportunities there were for things to have been done differently.

As an industry, we have to learn from what happened.

The construction sector is changing, albeit slowly, and I hope the Building Safety Act and the wider changes to building safety culture provide the framework needed to drive genuine and lasting improvement.

For me, one of the biggest messages from the event was that compliance alone isn’t enough. Competence, accountability, leadership and culture all matter.

Events like this are an important reminder of why we do what we do in health, safety and construction training.

Thank you to Peter Apps, the University of Plymouth and everyone involved in putting on such a valuable event.

Staring back at me is the person I’ve become.
The journey I’ve been on.
And probably the most critical and harshest judge of all — myself.
The last 8 months have tested me more than I’d like to admit. Business pressures, difficult decisions, responsibility, uncertainty and stress. At times, I’ve felt pushed close to breaking point.
But sometimes you need to be tested.
I’ve been fortunate enough to have a proper break over the last couple of weeks. Time away has given me some perspective and, more importantly, reminded me that I still want to build, learn and challenge myself.
So I’m going into the rest of 2026 with a different mindset.
JRS Safety Solutions is launching.
I’m starting my MBA.
And I’m changing the pathway of JRS Training to build something stronger and more sustainable for the future.
I think I’ve needed the challenge.
One thing that has kept me grounded throughout all of it has been training.
Getting into the gym every day. Putting the headphones in. Switching everything else off for an hour and pushing myself.
It’s genuinely been my saviour.
There’s still a lot to figure out. There will undoubtedly be more difficult days.
But I’m ready for the next chapter.
Time to get after it 🧡

🪚 Cut-Off Saw Training at David R White

A great session today, with some really useful conversations around the health and safety benefits of battery-powered tools.

We even had a few converts from petrol to battery! 🔋

Delegates found that the battery-powered saw gave them greater control, particularly when cutting smaller strips off slabs compared with using a petrol saw.

It was great to see everyone getting hands-on, comparing the equipment and building their confidence in the safe use of cut-off saws.

Interested in upskilling your team in the safe use of cut-off saws?

This week has got off to a great start! We had a packed course for Temporary Works Supervisor at our Poole venue today 👏

I also had the pleasure of visiting SA Webber to provide the team with ongoing NVQ support. A highlight was receiving a nice bottle of w**e to thank me for the ongoing support. It’s small gestures like this that make it all worthwhile 🍷

We’re incredibly proud to share our latest testimonial from Alfie, who recently completed his NVQ Level 6 in Site Management with JRS Training 🧡

“Great service from start to finish. The team were there every step of the way to help me achieve my NVQ Level 6 in Site Management. I honestly couldn’t fault their approach and will certainly recommend to anyone wishing to achieve a similar qualification.”

Not just helping you achieve a qualification, but supporting you throughout the journey, answering your questions, keeping you on track and making sure you have the confidence to succeed.

Whether you’re looking to progress your career, gain formal recognition for your experience or take the next step into site management, we’re here to help you get there.

Ready to take the next step? 📈

There’s a lot that goes into delivering great training.

The preparation. The experience. The knowledge. The assessments.

But for James, the best part of the job is much simpler 👇

Someone finishing their course, shaking his hand and saying:

“Thank you, I really enjoyed that.”

That kind of feedback never gets old.

Because behind every course is a person who has taken time out of their working day to learn, develop and improve what they do.

And knowing you’ve made that experience worthwhile? That’s what it’s all about.

If you’re looking at training for yourself or your team, have a chat with the JRS Training team. We’ll help you find the right course for what you actually need.
