Today is Armed Forces Day, a chance to show our support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community: from currently serving troops to Service families, veterans, and cadets.
Here at Chemring, we are proud to hold the Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme Silver Award. This prestigious award from the Ministry of Defence, held by our Roke business, recognises our support and continued commitment to the Armed Forces community.
Across Chemring, we support numerous charities that focus on the military and armed forces. One such charity, supported by our colleagues at Chemring Countermeasures UK (CCM UK) in Salisbury, is Alabare. The charity helps ensure that homeless veterans, or those at risk of becoming homeless, are kept off the streets.
Chemring is also a great fit for many veterans as they can continue to support the defence industry helping to protect people, assets, and information. We also gain greatly from their knowledge and expertise as serving personnel.
“The opportunity to continue to contribute to defence in a slightly different way to when I was serving is very rewarding for me. I have two decades of experience in the defence domain and a real understanding of the challenges that customers face when deployed in the field.” – Graham Waring, Account Manager, Roke
