HAVING A CLEAR MISSION GIVES US A FOCUS
Our mission is to provide integrated support services and functional infrastructure across the UK Defence Training Estate and promote the delivery of safe, sustainable and effective military training.
PUTTING OUR VISION INTO PRACTICE
Our vision is something that military veteran and Landmarc’s range and training area expert, Martin Burke, can really relate to and every day he strives to provide the most realistic training environment possible with his team so that our Armed Forces have everything they need to train safely and sustainably. Here, he tells us what Landmarc’s vision means to him.
SPOTLIGHT ON SAMM MURRAY, OUR FIRST FEMALE NTAM
Defence is traditionally a male-dominated industry but at Landmarc we are making in-roads on building an inclusive workplace that enables women to thrive, with over a quarter of all new recruits now being female – a significant improvement on previous years. We firmly believe in equality and the diverse roles that women hold across our business are testament to that, with women featuring across all levels from director to manager to supervisor to operative and a range of specialist roles in between.
