James Fisher Subtech honoured with Ministry of Defence silver award for commitment to UK Armed Forces

Defence
James Fisher Subtech (JF Subtech) is pleased to announce that it has received the silver award under the Ministry of Defence (MoD) Employee Recognition Scheme (ERS) for its continued support to Defence and the wider Armed Forces community.

The scheme was launched to reward employers who support Defence People objectives and encourage others to do the same, aligning their values with the Armed Forces Covenant. This includes employing serving and former members of the Armed Forces community, actively upholding a positive stance to their employees via established HR policies and procedures and demonstrating flexibility towards training and mobilisation commitments for reservists and Cadet Force volunteers.

Having signed the Armed Forces Covenant and gained the bronze award earlier this year (January 2023), JF Subtech has continued to demonstrate its dedication to creating a fair working environment for all by supporting the employment of veterans and recognising military skills and qualifications in its recruitment process, as well as engaging with the local Cadet Force.

Richard Watson, JF Subtech’s Deputy EOD Superintendent and champion of Armed Forces support activities, commented:

We are so delighted to receive the silver award and with Armed Forces Day around the corner (24 June), it is timely to share that JF Subtech has been recognised for the way we support former military personnel and reservists among our colleagues and their families.

Backed by JF Subtech, Richard will be taking part in ABF The Soldiers’ Charity Cateran Yomp challenge in early June where he’ll be walking 54 miles through the foothills of the Cairngorm Mountains within 24 hours.
