The other companies were Buildbase in Lincoln, Mercury
Electronic Warfare Ltd in Sleaford, Lincolnshire Partnership
NHS Foundation Trust (LPF) and Forces Cars Direct Limited in
Lincoln. Each received the Silver Defence Employer
Recognition Scheme Award at an awards event held on 9th November at Burleigh Court in Loughborough where 21 public and private
sector businesses from around the region were presented with a certificate by Colonel Tom Redgate, The Deputy Commander (Reserves) of
the regional Army HQ.
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, Finance 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.”
42 further businesses also formally had their Silver Awards renewed after continuing to support the
Armed Forces community three years on from when they were first presented this accolade.
