Spicerhaart Achieves Gold Status in the Armed Forces Covenant

Spicerhaart has been honoured with the Armed Forces Covenant Gold Award, recognising our unwavering commitment to supporting military employees and their families.

The Armed Forces Covenant is a scheme that acknowledging employers who go above and beyond in their support for the Armed Forces community. The award represents the highest level of recognition for organisations that demonstrate exceptional dedication to service employees, veterans, and their families.

Among those who have exemplified their talents within Spicerhaart is David Skingley, pictured above, who joined us in 2018. David completed a 26-year military career, followed by 13 years in commercial and government roles.

He had risen through the ranks to become a Warrant Officer in the Royal Corps of Signals and is now a member of the IT Infrastructure team responsible for managing Spicerhaart's data centre servers, networking, computers and IT security.

Emma Barber, Spicerhaart's Head of Training and Development and Armed Forces Champion, whose husband served as a soldier for 22 years, expressed immense pride in the achievement. "We are extremely proud and supportive of the dedication and commitment given by forces personnel to our country. We are therefore delighted to have signed the Armed Forces Covenant and have pledged to treat all service personnel fairly and with respect. This is such an important initiative for us as people retiring from the Army, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force, and Royal Marines, or those that are reservists, have so many transferable talents. They are disciplined, motivated, and have excellent communication skills."
