Martin Roberts is the Founder of Keep in Mind Ltd and the award-winning Mental Health Lead within Lloyds Banking Group. Survivor of the 1989 Hillsborough football disaster, Martin has encountered colossal tragedy early on in his life. After the severe deterioration of his mental health in 2017 and subsequent recovery, Martin now offers a range of talks, interactive workshops and consultancy on mental health and wellbeing subjects.
In 2017, suffering more unpleasant circumstances with members of his family passing away and others developing severe illnesses, Martin was on the brink of suicide. Miraculously recovering by asking for help, he has developed the motivation, tools and techniques that can help others.
Very experienced in the financial sector, Martin began his career at Halifax in 1991. Leaving after 16 years, he joined Lloyds as a Senior Project Manager. Becoming a Programme Manager in 2013, he changed roles in 2019 to Mental Health Lead, where he leads the mental health agenda, implementing new initiatives and supporting colleagues across the group.
As a motivational speaker, Martin collaborates with public, private and the education sector, where he shares best practices and outlines wellbeing strategies. Adapting to new challenges arising from the Covid-19 pandemic, Martin recognises the mental strain stemming from prolonged isolation and changes to the normal routine. As such, he now offers talks on rebuilding post pandemic resilience and returning to a new society.
Offering engaging, collaborative and thought-provoking talks, presentations and workshops tailored to each organisation, Martin provides trusted tools and techniques to aid the wellbeing of his clients. Driven by personal and professional experience, Martin Roberts is an excellent mental health and wellbeing speaker to book.
