In this powerful episode of the Clive Holland Show, we hear from two remarkable men whose journeys challenge perceptions of disability in the trades.Steve Bates, a Paralympic gold medallist, joins Clive after retiring from world-class cycling and returning to his trade as a carpenter. Alongside him is Davie Birrell, an Afghanistan war veteran who lost both legs and has since rebuilt his life and career as a joiner in Scotland.Their honest and inspiring stories open up a wider conversation about accessibility, opportunity and whether the building and construction industry can do more to support people with disabilities. A moving, thought-provoking listen to round off the final Monday of the year.Catch Clive On Fix Radio Monday - Thursday 12 PM - 3 PM Across The UK On DAB Radio And Online At https://www.fixradio.co.uk/
