This recognises the commitment and support that Horstman demonstrates for the defence and armed forces communities.  It comes just 18 months on from their Bronze Award, and further aligns with the values of the Armed Forces Covenant, which it has been a signatory of for a number of years.

“We are extremely proud of our continued links with the Armed Forces since achieving the Bronze Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Award.  We have many team members who began their careers in the Armed Forces, and all of our employees understand the critical role our solutions play in the defence of our nations.  As a company, we respect and value the many transferrable skills including adaptability and teamwork, which our veterans contribute to our workforce, and we fully support the training needs of our Reserve Forces. We are also committed to supporting local Cadets on their journey into the Armed Forces or the Defence Industry by enabling opportunities for work experience within Horstman” said Managing Director of Horstman UK and REME veteran, Mark Allemby BSc (Hons) MAPM

The Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) encourages employers to support defence and inspire others to do the same. The scheme encompasses bronze, silver and gold awards for employer organisations that pledge, demonstrate or advocate support to defence and the armed forces community.
