at

in

John
Wilson,
the
Ministry
of
Defence’s
Regional
Employer
Engagement
Director
said:
“Employing
members
of
the
Armed
Forces
community
is
beneficial
to
employers
as
they
can
often
use
the
specialist
skills
and
training
individuals
have
gained
through
the
Armed
Forces
in
their
workplace.
Skills
such
as
team
work,
problem-solving
and
having
the
experience
of
leading
a
team
can
be
transferred
into
any
civilian
organisation.
“The
Silver
Awards
event
was
a
huge
success
with
many
of
the
employers
commenting
on
the
value
of
networking
with
other
businesses
who
also employ current or former Service personnel.”
Michelle
Allbones,

Manager
of
TMS
Support
Solutions
Ltd,
commented:
“Currently,
73%
of
our
employees
are
from
the
Armed
Forces
Community
and
we’ve
found
that
the
technical
skills
that
they
bring
to
TMS
in
the
fields
of
vehicle
mechanics,
avionics
and
electronics
to
name
a
few,
are
extremely
valuable
to
the
services
we
provide
our
clients.
Deciding
to
sign
the
Armed
Forces
Covenant
was
an
easy
decision
for
us.
It
allowed
us
to
show
our
commitment
to
the
wider
Armed
Forces
Community
and
to
highlight
this
very
valuable
and
highly
skilled
group
of
potential
employees
to
other
employers.
As
part
of
our
ongoing
commitment
we
are
pleased
to
have
been
awarded
the
Silver
Recognition
Award
and will now be working towards the Gold Award.”
