Rob Jupp, CEO at The Brightstar Group, said: “We are committed to celebrating the contributions and achievements of the men and women of our businesses and it is important for us to mark both International Men’s Day and International Women’s Day on an annual basis.
“It is important that we understand and talk about the issues which men face today in society — it is of deep concern to me, for example, that suicide is the biggest killer of men under 45 years of age.
“Raising awareness about men’s health issues in general and continuing to talk about mental health is hugely important, and as a sector we must make an ongoing commitment to do these things.”
