Pall-Ex has achieved the rare honour of an Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Gold Award from the Ministry of Defence for its support of the Armed Forces community.
The logistics giant has been awarded the coveted accreditation due to its on-going work to support ex-military personnel via training, careers and charity fundraising.
Pall-Ex is one of three organisations in Leicestershire to achieve Gold in 2022 and the only pallet network to gain the highest badge of honour.
Only 18 organisations in the East Midlands have received the Gold award this year for their support towards the Armed Forces community.
Pall-Ex’s efforts have been recognised as outstanding because of its forces-friendly commitments, including enhanced leave for Reservists and Cadets, and supporting veterans’ mental health charity Combat Stress.
Pall-Ex has also promoted the Armed Forces Covenant to its pallet network members of independent hauliers, with 22 having already signed their commitment and started their journey to become Gold accredited.
Kevin Buchanan, Pall-Ex Group CEO, comments: “This is a proud moment for the Pall-Ex team, who have worked collectively to develop policies that actively support ex-military personnel and their families.”
