This year marks a significant milestone in recognising the dedication and support provided to the Armed Forces community by UK employers. The Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Gold Award, the highest honour available, has been awarded to nearly 200 more organisations across the country. These employers have demonstrated outstanding commitment to ensuring that veterans, reservists, and military families are supported, valued, and given the opportunities they deserve in the civilian workforce.

Each of these organisations has shown exceptional leadership in integrating military-friendly policies within their workplaces. From offering additional leave for reservists to actively recruiting veterans, these employers stand as role models for others, highlighting the benefits of a workforce enriched by the unique skills and experiences of Armed Forces personnel.

The Gold Award is not just a symbol of recognition; it’s a testament to the hard work and dedication of these employers in upholding the values of the Armed Forces Covenant. The award recognises those who go beyond the call of duty, creating supportive environments that help service members transition smoothly into civilian careers.

Here is the full list of the organisations that have been honoured with the 2024 ERS Gold Award. This list represents a diverse array of industries, from retail and technology to engineering and construction. Each organisation brings something unique to the table, yet they all share a common goal: to honour and support the men and women who have served our country and their families.
