Reservists are warmly welcome to work for us and we are proud to work with Defence Employee Relations to promote such support and ways of employment to embrace the rich skills and contribution such employees can bring. The consultation into a new framework, structure and approach for reserves and the overall shape and integration with the serving personnel was as a consequence of the last Strategic Defence and Security Review {SDSR}.

Following the publication of the Future Reserves report in 2020 we have been committed to the support and encouragement of the reservists. To that end, Reservists and ex-forces and forces families will enjoy additional special benefits working with us. We respect the Forces Contract and as such our benefits and employee terms and conditions make significant allowance for an individual to be a reservist. This also reflects our support in their commitment to the country and our allies. We are looking to even expand these in due course, to offer Single Living Accommodation and Married Quarters at or near each and every site where possible.

These forces-friendly benefits help with training commitments, deployments, welfare needs and reflect the contribution they also bring back in exemplary skills, commitment and attitude within the workplace. We structure our work, workplace and the way we organise the Comnpany and projects to allow for the needs of additional (service) training and mobilisation(s). It is appreciated that the world is constantly changing and with this so does our Company. At the heart of this is our employees. Reservists contribute to that richness in a whole host of ways and Defence Employee Relations produce excellent resource kits for employers to explain these.

In keeping with the sensible and respectful traditions it is the company policy to support, not just that defined in our Armed Forces Covenant, but a series of key dates depicting loyal service and solemn sacrifice for the safety and security of the British people, our allies and our places around the world. We are hugely proud to play a part in researching advanced capabilities that are non-lethal for such forces. We are also very proud to support where we can resources and skills for such.

Due to Security Reasons, given the work we do, we do not post online our supporting events for each of these or which locations/events we attend.
