The resilience of Ukraine's contact centre industry is nothing short of extraordinary. In the latest episode of Get Out of Wrap, I had the privilege of speaking with Iryna Velychko and Bogdan Koshevoy, who shared the realities of running contact centres in a war zone.
Despite missile attacks, power outages, and unimaginable challenges, these professionals continue working—supporting their country and clients worldwide. They have adapted with backup power, shelters, and an unwavering commitment to keep business moving forward. Their spirit is humbling.
But they need our support. Here’s how we can help: ✅ Raise Awareness – Share the truth about what’s happening in Ukraine’s contact centres. ✅ Consider Outsourcing to Ukraine – Ukrainian contact centres remain highly skilled, multilingual, and resilient. ✅ Support Training & Development – UK trainers can make a real impact by working with Ukrainian teams.
It’s not enough to say we stand with Ukraine—we must take action. Connect with Iryna and Bogdan to explore real ways to help.
Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
