Its status upgrade saw a “rigorous: application process including demonstrating its support for Defence and actively communicating and upholding a positive stance to employees via human resources policies and procedures.

BiKBBI is one of 4,000 businesses nationwide to ensure those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, are treated fairly.

CEO at BiKBBI Damian Walters commented: “BiKBBI has proudly supported the Ministry of Defence and the Armed Forces Covenant for many years, firstly in support of the brave forces personnel that give so much to, and have given up so much for, our country.

“Secondly, we recognise the opportunity to support highly trained ex-services personnel with transferable skills by bringing them into the KBB sector, thus supporting our industry too.

“We joined the Employer Recognition Scheme not only to recognise our efforts to date, but with the express interest to keep improving and growing the support that we provide to the armed forces community.

“We are thrilled to achieve the Silver Award, the next milestone in our journey towards our ultimate goal of the Gold Award.”
