JR Scaffold has been awarded Gold status in the Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) for its support of the Armed Forces community.
The award is the highest level within the scheme and recognises employers that maintain policies and working practices supporting serving personnel, Reservists, Veterans, service leavers, Cadet Force Adult Volunteers and military families.
For JR Scaffold, the award follows previous Bronze and Silver ERS recognition and continues the company’s work under the Armed Forces Covenant.
The company said its approach includes supporting veterans moving into civilian employment, creating opportunities for service leavers and providing flexibility for employees who continue to serve as Reservists.
John Horne, Managing Director of JR Scaffold, said: “We are immensely proud to have achieved Gold Award status through the Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme.
“This is a fantastic achievement for everyone across The JR Group and one that is particularly important to us as a business.
“Our journey through the ERS awards, from Bronze to Silver and now Gold, reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting the Armed Forces community.
“We recognise the valuable skills, experience and dedication that members of the Armed Forces community bring to the workplace.
“Whether that is supporting veterans as they transition into civilian employment, creating opportunities for those leaving the services, or accommodating colleagues who continue to serve as Reservists, we are dedicated to doing what we can to provide meaningful opportunities, and the flexibility people need.”
The Gold Award recognises JR Scaffold’s continued work to support members of the Armed Forces community through employment and workplace policies.
