FORCES FRIENDLY EMPLOYER
WE RECOGNISE THE VALUE AND SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS OUR ARMED FORCES COMMUNITIES BRING TO OUR BUSINESS
Working on the military training estate, we recognise the value and significant benefits serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business, with more than 25 per cent of our employees coming from an Armed Forces background.
This is why we have pledged our commitment to the UK’s Armed Forces by signing the Armed Forces Covenant. This support and commitment has also been rewarded with a Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award, recognising our flexibility towards employing and supporting reservists and Cadet Force volunteers.
Landmarc is also a founding corporate partner of X Forces Enterprise, the leading organisation in the UK for enterprise in the military community. Here, we support the organisation both financially and through mentoring and peer-to-peer learning opportunities, as well as looking at how we can bring more veteran-owned businesses into our supply chain.

WHAT SOME OF OUR VETERANS AND RESERVISTS SAY
HANNAH WINTON
“These days there are no limits for women in defence – it’s an amazing space to work in. Landmarc is a really friendly company, the military/civilian mix makes for a great working environment. People just want to provide the best service they can to our customers and our staff are always so positive and passionate about their jobs” says Explosives Safety Manager, Hannah Winton
LEROY BLAKE
“I enjoy working for a good employer – from my experience I would say if you’re into aircraft and bird spotting you can’t beat working for Landmarc at an Air Weapons Range. Seeing the different aircraft and facilitating in their training, often for pre-deployment, is the most rewarding aspect of my job” says Training Area Operative, Leroy Blake.
PAUL WESLEY
“It’s really important that employers aim to support reservists because not only do they get an employee who will improve their skill set which will benefit the company, they will have an employee who will be taken out of their comfort zone which builds their self-confidence and determination” says Facilities Manager, Paul Wesley
SHEENA SKIDMORE
“As a veteran, having the knowledge of how the Armed Forces train or use the ranges is invaluable. This knowledge helps them get the best from their time on site and achieve their training objectives as safely as possible” says Area Delivery Manager, Sheena Skidmore
