On Wednesday 1 July 2026, 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 34 new Silver Awards, guests were treated to a spectacular performance by the Royal Marines 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.
