To celebrate Armed Forces Week 2026, Landmarc, together with the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), is raising the Armed Forces Day flag across the UK, demonstrating its appreciation and support for service personnel.
The flag-raising event forms part of a national celebration across the Defence Training Estate (DTE), giving civilians, veterans and serving military personnel the opportunity to show their appreciation for the people who make up the Armed Forces community.
This year, Landmarc is honouring the individuals who play a vital role in supporting the UK’s Armed Forces by proudly flying the official Armed Forces Day flag at military training establishments across the country.
As a key partner to the UK Ministry of Defence, Landmarc works alongside DIO to manage and operate the DTE, delivering training support, rural land maintenance and facilities management that enable military personnel to train effectively.
As part of its commitment to helping veterans successfully transition into civilian employment, Landmarc recently hosted a dedicated careers event. The event, titled: ‘Landmarc Pathways: From Service to Second Career’, was designed specifically for service leavers, offering tailored guidance, networking opportunities and exposure to career pathways within Landmarc and beyond.
Building on the success of the event, Landmarc plans to continue delivering careers-focused initiatives that support members of the Armed Forces community throughout their transition to civilian employment.
Landmarc has also been recognised with three nominations at this year’s British Forces in Business Awards. The awards celebrate ex-military in second careers, recognising the value veterans add to businesses as well as the employers that support the transition of servicemen and women.
Further strengthening its support for the Armed Forces community, Landmarc has expanded its partnership with X-Forces Enterprise (XFE) by extending its Guaranteed Interview Scheme for veterans, reservists and military spouses and partners to include the Cadets in Enterprise programme.
The scheme reinforces Landmarc’s pledge to the Armed Forces Covenant, which was re-signed in 2024 following the company’s achievement of the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Gold Award.
Mark Neill, Managing Director at Landmarc, said: “Our recent careers event enabled us to provide practical support to service personnel and veterans preparing for the transition into civilian employment.
“Understanding how to translate military skills for civilian roles, build professional networks and explore new career pathways can make a significant difference to achieving a successful transition.
“As a veteran myself, I know first-hand how important Armed Forces Week is in recognising the contribution of those who serve, as well as the wider Armed Forces community, and we are proud to show our support during this special week.”
Brigadier Hatcher, DIO’s Head of Overseas and Training Region, added: “Armed Forces Week provides an important opportunity to recognise and thank the people who serve as well as their families, veterans and reservists.
“It’s fantastic to see the public, businesses, and fellow service members come together in support. Alongside our colleagues at Landmarc, we are proud to raise the flag at sites across the UK to honour their contribution.”
