The Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS), run by the Ministry of Defence, was established to encourage employers to develop and maintain an armed forces-friendly environment. This bronze level certification recognises our ongoing commitment to defence staff, their families, and the armed forces community.
This follows the recent signing of the Armed Forces Covenant: a written and publicised voluntary pledge, tailored to our business, which promotes that we are armed forces-friendly, employ service leavers and work with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP) to support service leavers, veterans, and their families.
We are delighted to have received the bronze level award from the ERS and are committed to supporting the armed forces community. We am very proud that we not only employ a number of ex-service personnel across the business, but also help servicemen and women leaving the forces to find employment and make a smooth transition into civilian life.
We look forward to working towards the silver award.
