Lucketts Group has received a government award for its commitment to supporting ex-armed forces personnel and reservists.
The company has been presented with the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) silver award after receiving the bronze award last year.
Lucketts is an armed forces-friendly company, open to employing people from the forces and their spouses, as well as reservists. The company has demonstrated and advocated strong levels of support for the armed forces community and aligned its values with the Armed Forces Covenant.
Lucketts Managing Director, Tony Lawman, is a former member of the armed services himself, having served for more than 22 years in the British Army.
He says: “It is a real honour to be recognised for our commitment to the UK’s armed forces community. We are proud to have employed several ex-forces personnel in recent years and, perhaps unsurprisingly, the skills those people have developed in the military have made them superb additions to our team. Timekeeping, problem-solving and good teamwork are just some of the attributes that make ex armed forces personnel flourish in a business like ours.”
Defence Secretary, Ben Wallace adds: “These awards recognise the outstanding support for our armed forces from employers across Britain and I would like to thank and congratulate each and every one.”
