Last week, we welcomed representatives from the North East Armed Forces Business Forum (NE AFBF) to Armstrong Works.
All attending companies are recognised for their support to Reservists, Veterans, Cadet Force Adult Volunteers and to the families of those serving in the Armed Forces.
“As a reservist and advocate of the Armed Forces Community, I found the event particularly useful, and we were delighted to showcase our facilities. Importantly, the forum enables collaboration across defence-facing organisations and raises opportunities not only for Pearson Engineering as a business, but also me as an individual.” – Pearson Engineering Reservist and representative who supports military engagement activity in the North East
Pearson Engineering has been proud to be part of the Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme for many years, achieving GOLD in 2020 in recognition of our support to Armed Forces communities. More than 12% of our employees have an Armed Forces background and we actively encourage all employers to recognise the value of recruiting military veterans.
