We Are Thrilled To Announce We Have Received The 2024 Gold Employer Recognition Scheme Award
We are proud to announce our progression from the Silver to the prestigious Gold Employer Recognition Scheme Award for 2024. This achievement highlights our ongoing dedication to the Armed Forces community, marking a significant acknowledgment of our efforts to bridge the gap between military service and civilian careers in the construction industry.
Chief Executive Chris Charles expressed immense pride in the achievement, saying, “Receiving the Gold Employer Recognition Scheme Award is not just an honour; it represents the hard work, dedication, and passion of our entire team. It’s a testament to our ongoing commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant and our continuous effort to support veterans, reservists, and military families. This award fuels our drive to push forward, making significant strides in community engagement and social mobility for veterans.”
We have long been at the forefront of connecting the education sector, the Armed Forces, and the construction industry. By offering practical training, mentorship, and strong industry partnerships, we create meaningful pathways for veterans transitioning to civilian life. Focused on hands-on experience and professional development, we equip veterans to construct not just buildings, but brighter futures.
The 2024 Gold Employer Recognition Scheme Award highlights our exemplary support for veterans, engagement with military families, and its significant community impact.
Chris Charles added, “A heartfelt thanks to Defence Relationship Management for this prestigious recognition and to all our partners and supporters who have been pivotal in our journey over the past decade. Your faith in our mission empowers us to keep innovating and inspiring.”
As we celebrate our 10th anniversary this October, the charity is now looking to the future, and we extend our gratitude to all our training partners and corporate partners, including Vistry Group, Regal, Davidsons Homes, Annington, Thakeham, AmeyBriggs, Velocity Roads, Soltherm External Insulations, Lovell Partnerships Ltd, E-On and Haig Housing, whose unwavering support has been crucial in their success and their partnership will help the charity continue to support the Armed Forces community access pathways to successful civilian careers.
