Hello Shipping Podcast lovers, the show is available on all podcast platforms. This is where we talk about the coolest industry on the planet and help raise the maritime industry's profile.  

The shipping industry is the backbone of international trade, contributing to globalisation and development, yet we are the invisible industry. The people within the industry make the world go around; they are maritime professionals – strong characters with an interesting background. I meet them, and we talk about the future of the shipping industry and what's happening right now.

In cyberspace since 2015.

116 Deborah Layde, Grants Director, Seafarers UK

Jul 26, 2019

In episode 116, we meet Deborah Layde, Grants Director at Seafarers UK, is a leading provider of grants to maritime charities and charitable maritime projects, working to help serving and ex-serving seafarers and their families who are experiencing hardship.

Deborah is quite new at her job, previously in her career, she worked for Sir Terence Conran and also with developing the Butler's Wharf into what it is today. I get a chance to ask Deborah what she thinks about entering the maritime industry as we can be rather closed to newcomers, but she has not experienced that, quite the opposite in fact.

Deborah is talking about so many interesting projects that the Seafarers UK is involved with, especially those trying to interest young people in entering the maritime community. What is your experience, have you seen any exceptionally good ideas that you can share with us, on how to do that? 

I love feedback, you know that by now. Give me a shoutout at @lenagothberg or comment at www.shippingpodcast.com 

Thank you for listening.
