In this powerful Beyond the Wire episode of The Muster Point Podcast, Stu and Steve sit down with Darren Wright, founder of Veterans into Logistics—a game-changing charity helping former military personnel rebuild their lives through careers in HGV driving.

From PTSD and prison to purpose and passion, Darren’s story is one of brutal honesty, second chances, and real-world impact. After losing a fellow veteran to suicide, he made it his mission to ensure no ex-soldier is left behind. Veterans into Logistics has since helped hundreds of veterans across the UK find stability, employment, and a new identity beyond the uniform.

🪖 What’s Inside:

• Darren’s lived experience of life after the Army: trauma, adversity, and turning it all around
• The tragic catalyst that sparked Veterans into Logistics
• How the charity funds HGV training and connects veterans with top employers
• Why employment is key to better mental health and reduced reoffending
• The power of mentorship, belonging, and community in civilian life

🎧 Perfect for: Veterans, service leavers, military families, employers, logistics firms, criminal justice professionals, and anyone passionate about veteran support, mental health, and career transition after the Armed Forces.

🫡 Once you’ve served—no matter the battle—you’re family.
