We’ve Partnered With Defence

We’re proud to have signed the Armed Forces Covenant as a business to show our support for those who have served in our forces.

Director Simon Cox signed the covenant in April following a presentation from Bruce Spencer (pictured) from the UK Ministry of Defence on how businesses can work closer with the Ministry of Defence and former serving personnel.

Simon said “As a business community, we welcome former forces personnel into our community and we’re delighted that we are already helping them within our business community with their business journey.”

“As a leading business network and membership organisation in North Northamptonshire, we’re proud to be “partnered with defence” so we can help share the work of the Armed Forces Covenant and encourage businesses within our community to engage with the Ministry of Defence.”

The Armed Forces Covenant represents a promise by the nation that those who serve or have served, and their families, are treated fairly. All 407 local authorities in mainland Great Britain and 4 Northern Ireland councils have pledged to uphold the Armed Forces Covenant. Thousands of organisations have signed the covenant, including businesses and charities.

What Is The Armed Forces Covenant ?

To those who proudly protect our nation, who do so with honour, courage, and commitment, the Armed Forces Covenant is the nation’s commitment to you.

It is a pledge that together we acknowledge and understand that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families, should be treated with fairness and respect in the communities, economy and society they serve with their lives.
