Wincanton achieve gold!

Wincanton have announced that they have received the Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award from the UK Government for their support and commitment to the Armed Forces community and their families.

The Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) encourages employers to support defence and inspire other organisations to do the same.

The scheme encompasses Bronze, Silver and Gold awards for employer organisations that pledge, demonstrate or advocate support to defence and the armed forces community, and align their values with the Armed Forces Covenant.

In a recent post, Wincanton said: “We are proud to support those who serve; ensuring members of the Armed Forces community are treated fairly, have fulfilling careers and are supported to achieve their full potential.”

“We’re pleased to have received this honour recognising our work in this space.”
