"OVER THE PAST 13 YEARS, WE’VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF MEETING SOME TRULY REMARKABLE INDIVIDUALS – PEOPLE WHO’VE SHARED THEIR STORIES WITH HONESTY, COURAGE AND A DEEP COMMITMENT TO MAKING OUR INDUSTRY SAFER AND HEALTHIER FOR EVERYONE.

 As we reflect on how far the campaign has come, we want to take a moment to honour 13 voices that have helped shape our journey. The stories that have inspired change, sparked conversations and reminded us all why this work matters.

These are their stories. We hope you’ll take a moment to read, reflect, and share".

Jane Gurney & Family – Turning Tragedy into a Lifesaving Mission

Jane Gurney MBE

Over ten years ago, Jane Gurney’s son, 19 year old Harry Christian-Allan, lost his life in a tragic trailer accident on a rural road. The pain of that day still echoes through his family – Jane, Frances, Josh, Jordan, and Ollie – who feel his absence in every moment and every milestone missed. For them, it’s not just the loss of a son, brother, or friend, it’s the empty boots that will never be filled.

In Harry’s memory, Jane founded Tilly Your Trailer, a safety initiative that has become a national voice for trailer and road safety in farming. While many know the campaign, fewer know the emotional toll behind it. The quiet strength of a family determined to prevent others from experiencing the same heartbreak.

Their story is a poignant reminder of how quickly life can change on rural roads, where conditions are unpredictable and one mistake can have devastating consequences. Through their advocacy, they ask a simple but powerful question that resonates strongly with us: Who would fill your boots?
