South East Silver ERS Awards 2025

On Wednesday 3 September 2025, we were proud to celebrate our Silver Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Award recipients in the stunning surroundings of Admiralty House at HM Naval Base Portsmouth.

Following the presentation of 33 new Silver Awards, guests were treated to a spectacular performance by the Hampshire Caledonian Pipe Band, with musical entertainment during the reception provided by the talented RAF Salon Orchestra. Our sincere thanks to both groups for making the evening truly memorable.

The Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) encourages employers to support defence personnel and inspire others to do the same. The scheme includes Bronze, Silver, and Gold awards, recognising organisations that pledge, demonstrate, or advocate for support of the armed forces community—aligning closely with the values of the Armed Forces Covenant.
