It is the first time the awards ceremony will take place in person since 2019 due to coronavirus restrictions. We are thrilled to be part of the prestigious awards evening.
Superfast IT is shortlisted alongside Phoenix Collegiate, Tough Enough to Care and Wolverhampton Lawn Tennis Club. I extend our congratulations to all the nominees. Your ongoing support to the Armed Forces community is commendable and I hope our combined efforts inspire more businesses to sign the Armed Forces Covenant.
Superfast IT’s commitment to the Armed Forces has been officially recognised with a Bronze Award and Silver Award by the Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme. Team members also benefit from paid leave when joining the Reserves.
The Armed Forces Covenant recognises that government and the nation have an obligation to treat the armed forces community fairly. It is supported by the government, local communities and businesses to encourage support for the armed forces community and promote public understanding and awareness. The covenant is a public pledge from organisations that wish to demonstrate their support for the armed forces community, based upon two main principles:
no member of the armed forces community should face a disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen.
in some circumstances, special treatment may be appropriate, especially for the injured or bereaved.
