As signatories and active promoters of the Armed Forces Covenant we acknowledge and understand those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families. We also firmly believe that those who continue to serve (regular or reserve) and have previously, should be treated with fairness and respect in the communities, economy and society they serve with their lives.<\/p>

As an organisation we are active members of The Gold Alumni Association (GAA), and work closely with the MoD to promote the Armed Forces Covenant, champion Armed Forces engagement with employers, share best practices and prove an informed and influential stakeholder sounding board for new initiatives.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

We are delighted to have achieved the gold award as recognition of the amazing efforts of our team and the organisation to support the wider forces community. A core value of our business is to help others, and we do this in a multitude of ways, from fundraising, career development guidance, providing learning opportunities, and sharing our knowledge and expertise across a global network of civilian and military members, learners, clients and contacts. Now we have achieved the Gold Award we look forward to finding new ways to enhance the support available for the wider forces community, including encouraging other businesses to pledge their commitment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
