Twenty-two London organisations have been awarded the Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Silver Award for 2025
The Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Silver Awards are a pivotal initiative within the framework of the Armed Forces Covenant (AFC) programme, aimed at fostering support for the Armed Forces community and recognising organisations making substantial contributions in this domain. The AFC programme seeks to raise awareness about the importance of supporting our service members and veterans, encouraging businesses to engage in activities that contribute to their welfare.
The 2025 Silver ERS Awards showcased the commitment of 22 organisations to supporting the Armed Forces community. These awards are a testament to their dedication to hiring, training, and championing service members and veterans. Achieving the Silver Award is a significant milestone, symbolising an organisation’s exceptional support for the Armed Forces community and veterans’ employment. To be awarded a Silver recognition from the Ministry of Defence, organisations must provide 5 extra days leave for Reservists, and have supportive HR policies in place for Reservists, veterans, Cadet Force Adult Volunteers and the spouses and partners of those serving in the Armed Forces.
The award not only distinguishes an organisation’s commitment to the Armed Forces community but also sets a strong example for other businesses to follow suit.
