Group discussion, Morgan Sindall group 2

Group discussion with a group of Morgan Sindall (MS) employees, discussion led and recorded by Fiona Slater, on 5 February 2026, at the National Railway Museum. A group of MS employees, members of MSI Allies Network, participated to a day at the National Railway Museum to find out about People, Pride and Progress oral history project and have a LGBTQIA+ history led tour of the museum. Divided into smaller groups, participants were invited to listen to and discuss a selection of extracts of oral history interviews recorded as part of People, Pride and Progress, with railway workers sharing their experience on the railways as members of the LGBTQIA+ community. The Morgan Sindall employees taking part in this recorded discussion are James Goddard (Senior Quantity Surveyor – Rail), Seth Shepherd (Apprentice Project Controller) and Kirsty Bailey (Senior Information Manager).

This interview was made as part of People Pride and Progress (PPP) project. The project was initiated in 2023 to record the stories and memories of the LGBTQIA+ community in a new oral history archive over two years. It aimed to connect past, present and future through intergenerational interviews, offering opportunities for colleagues across all parts of the rail industry to connect, reflect on and learn from each other’s lived experiences while creating an archive of oral history interviews.
