Summary
The Wood Armed Forces Network brings together colleagues who are members of the Armed Forces community, including serving and reservist personnel, cadet volunteers, veterans and their families. The network is open to anyone to join even if they do not have a military connection but want to support the Armed Forces and its community.
Objectives
- Promote Wood as an Armed Forces-friendly organisation.
- Provide opportunities for members of the Armed Forces community to connect and network.
- Support the employment of veterans and military spouses.
- Support employees who choose to be members of the Reserve forces.
- Actively participate in supporting Armed Forces events and charities.
As chair of the Armed Forces Network and with the help of our regional leads, I aim to serve our veterans, reservist and forces family members. We are always looking to support ex-forces staff who join Wood in various roles.
We have many in the network who are not ex-forces but who are ‘allies’, showing that anyone is welcome to join and participate in our fantastic community providing mutual support.
