Welcome to Behind the barriers with me Joe Whittle

The show helps to infiltrate silos, creates connections, and break down the walls we have in our rail industry.

I’ll be doing this by talking to people from across our industry to help you, the listener, create connections and an awareness that you are not alone… We all have similarities, and we are all, in our own way striving for the same thing… A Safer, Better industry for now, and for the future.

As always If you’re enjoying what you hearing and would like to subscribe, you can at www.behindthebarriers.co.uk where you will find show notes and links on how to interact with the show and the topics were talking about. Any and all feedback is appreciated and will help shape the show.
