November 2026: EBM has signed the Armed Forces Covenant, formally pledging our support to the Armed Forces community.
What is the Covenant?
The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise by the nation that those who serve or have served, and their families, are treated fairly. It rests on two principles. No member of the Armed Forces community should face disadvantage compared with other citizens. And special consideration may be right for some, especially the injured or bereaved.
The Covenant is backed by law: key public bodies delivering healthcare, education and housing must have due regard to it. More than 12,400 organisations have now signed.
Why it matters for employers
Service personnel and veterans bring skills every organisation needs: leadership, discipline, resilience and clear decisions under pressure. Yet the move into civilian work is not always easy, and reservists and military families can face practical barriers. Employers who sign the Covenant commit to removing those barriers and making the most of that talent.
Our commitment
For EBM, signing formalises something already part of who we are.
- We work alongside serving personnel and veterans.
- Our team takes part in local events, including Remembrance parades.
- We encourage and support veterans to apply to work with us, now and in the future.
Many of our clients serve the nation in defence and public service. Signing the Covenant is our way of standing with them, and with everyone who has served.
