On Wednesday 19th November the SERFCA Engagement team and several South East Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) award holders were invited for by our counterparts across the border, Wessex RFCA, and 6 Regiment Army Air Corps to attend a business breakfast at Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton (HMS HERON).
Guests were welcomed to the Wardroom at HMS HERON by Commanding Officer of 6 Regt AAC Lieutenant Colonel Alice Archer. After a hearty breakfast guests received brief from Lt Col Archer and a Reservist highlighting the support he receives from his employer to complete training and deployment.
Before transiting over to the hangar to see the Wildcat helicopters and receive a brief from 1 Regt AAC Aircrew, Lt Col Archer signed an Armed Forces Covenant with Giles Thompson, managing director of The OT Practice based in Hook Hampshire.
Now in its second year, this event has become a well-regarded opportunity for defence supportive employers to gain a rare behind-the-scenes perspective of a major military establishment.
