ADAM TAYLOR PROJECT (ATP)
The Adam Taylor Project is a nightshift face-to-face poor mental health prevention initiative, offering free to attend support sessions across the Heathrow Airport construction portfolio of projects. We want to end the stigma surrounding poor mental health and help people through the power of conversation.
The sessions are free of charge, open to all development staff, and require no booking. Attendees can simply turn up and talk as much or as little as they desire with no pressure.
The mental health first aider facilitator led sessions are completely confidential and held in a place that’s free of any judgement.

WHO IS ADAM TAYLOR?
Adam worked for Wilson James, a logistics Contractor who has worked closely with our founders for many years in the Aviation Business Unit at both Heathrow and Gatwick airports. Adam had previously worked as a nightshift logistics operative but had recently transitioned to day shift to work as a driver. Adam was a football loving 34-year-old dad of three young children.
On the morning of Wednesday 30th October 2024, we received the devastating news that Adam had tragically completed suicide. To say we and the entire Heathrow construction family were shocked is an understatement. The tragic news hit everyone hard. None of Adam’s colleagues knew he was suffering from such poor mental health.
Following the death of Adam, we realised a change in priorities and direction was required. Our original service offer was aimed at the Mace Group Aviation nightshift construction management team, however what we realised post Adam’s death was nightshift support services (particularly mental health) were required across the whole construction spectrum at Heathrow airport. With our knowledge, 30+ years’ nightshift experience and skill set it was apparent our services were required on a much larger scale.
The ATP was conceived with a simple mission – to prevent other families from going through the heartache and grief caused by suicide, by encouraging people to openly talk about their issues in a safe and non-judgemental setting. Poor mental health is a deeply personal matter and behind every case lies a unique human story – stories of grief, pain, suffering, isolation, and so much more…
ON YOUR SIDE, AT YOUR SIDE…
We don’t want anyone to feel isolated in their battles with poor mental health or mental illness and it’s our intention to educate people to recognise the warning signs.
We’re making a stand against poor mental health. Male suicide is a public health emergency. In the UK, suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50. A fact that many households, families, workplaces and individual men are completely unaware of.
Societally, we must shift from simply encouraging people to talk, to actively listen and provide effective support when they do. What About Ye? is leading the charge in transforming the conversation around mental health.
With the right understanding and correct approach, we can help and support people who feel isolated with poor mental health.
