‘I earn £150,000 a year but people still don’t take my job seriously’

Danny Webb, a highly skilled electrician and project manager, is using his platform to shed light on the challenges faced by tradespeople and to encourage open discussions about mental health. Despite earning a commendable £150,000 annually, Danny believes that the lack of recognition given to those in the trade sector hampers its growth and affects the well-being of workers like himself.

In an effort to transform the perception of his profession and make it more appealing, Danny has taken to Instagram, where he has established himself as an “electrician influencer.” His goal is to showcase the excitement and creativity that come with the job, challenging the stereotype that tradespeople are undervalued. He firmly believes that a change in mentality is necessary for the trade industry to be taken more seriously.
