Established over a decade ago by the UK Government, the Covenant is a pledge from the nation to our armed forces, that they will be respected, supported and treated fairly. We’re in good company – joining over 10,000 other businesses and organisations of all sizes who have pledged their support. KOREC has an existing military connection through one of our own –Philip McCarten, who joined KOREC in 2020 as a member of our geospatial technical support team. Prior to this, Phil was a member of the 42 Engineer Regiment (Geographic) as a Field Surveyor and Geographic Technician for almost a quarter of a century. The specialist unit is made up of both regulars and reservists, and provides geographic information, survey capabilities and mapping products for the Armed Forces. During his time in the unit, Phil travelled the globe conducting surveys, training and advising personnel in all manner of geographic matters. He even won the prestigious Queen’s Commendation for Bravery for his actions in West Africa in 1998. Of the news that KOREC has signed up to the Covenant, Phil said; “I’m delighted that KOREC have signed up, and wanted to say thanks and well done. KOREC is a great place to work and emulates the same values that are at the core of the Armed Forces. I am looking forward to seeing how we, as an organization, implement the covenant in our day to day working, especially as our Huntingdon office is only 3 miles away from my old regiment’s base!” What is the Covenant? The Covenant supports current serving members, reservists, veterans, family members, and those who have been injured during their service lifetime. For reservists in particular, the pledge allows them to balance their civilian work with their Armed Forces role – by providing additional paid leave for them to complete necessary training. The Covenant opens up a wide variety of support, including; Help with purchasing a home Enhanced access to physical and mental healthcare Financial advice and support Support for Veterans via Veterans UK Discover more about the Armed Forces Covenant, including the complete list of pledging organisations, via their website; https://www.armedforcescovenant.gov.uk/ This post has been tagged: Armed Forces, people, Staff Tweet Share
