Continued commitment to supporting the Armed Forces community

Lindström UK’s continued commitment to supporting the Armed Forces community.

Lindström UK is a proud holder of the Silver Award under the Ministry of Defence’s Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS), a recognition we have maintained for several years as part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the Armed Forces community. 

The Employer Recognition Scheme recognises organisations that demonstrate their support for veterans, reservists, cadet force volunteers, service leavers and military families. 

As an existing Silver Award holder, we are currently working through the process of retaining our accreditation, reaffirming our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant and to creating a supportive working environment for those who serve or have served. 

Recognising the value of military experience

At Lindström, we recognise the experience and skills that people from the Armed Forces community bring to the workplace. 

Leadership, teamwork, resilience and the ability to adapt to challenging situations are just some of the qualities developed through military service and volunteering. These skills are equally valuable in civilian careers, helping to strengthen teams and support day-to-day operations. 

They also reflect our We Care culture, where respect, responsibility and supporting one another are part of how we work. 

We understand that some colleagues balance their careers with ongoing commitments to the Reserve Forces or Cadet organisations. As an Armed Forces-friendly employer, we recognise the importance of supporting these commitments while providing opportunities for people to develop their careers. 

For me, supporting the Armed Forces community is about recognising the people behind the service. Whether they are Reservists, Cadet Force Adult Volunteers, veterans, serving personnel or family members, they bring a wealth of experience, commitment and resilience that enrich both our workplace and our communities. At Lindström, this reflects our We Care culture and our belief that businesses have a role to play in supporting the communities around them. We are proud to work closely with the Ministry of Defence and to support colleagues connected to the Armed Forces community, recognising the positive contribution they make both inside and outside of work.” 

Adam Hunt, HR Manager at Lindström UK

Supporting those who serve and have served

For colleagues with personal experience of the Armed Forces, this recognition carries particular significance. 

The experience gained through military service can be particularly valuable in areas such as health and safety, operations and team management, where responsibility, communication and making decisions under pressure are essential. 

Continuing our commitment to the Armed Forces community

Maintaining our Silver Award status reflects Lindström UK’s continued commitment to being an Armed Forces-friendly employer and recognising the valuable contribution of the Armed Forces community. 

We actively welcome applications from veterans, service leavers, reservists, Cadet Force Adult Volunteers, military spouses and the wider Armed Forces community. 

We recognise that transitioning into civilian employment or balancing work with military commitments can bring different challenges. Our aim is to provide a supportive workplace where people feel respected, valued and encouraged to develop their careers. 

Our Silver Award status reflects an ongoing commitment, rather than a one-off achievement. We will continue to support the Armed Forces community and encourage those with military connections to explore career opportunities with Lindström. 

We will continue to recognise the contribution of the Armed Forces community and encourage those with military connections to explore opportunities with Lindström
