Lieutenant Colonel Julian Salusbury, Commanding Officer of Yorkshire Officer Training Regiment joined us to celebrate us becoming the largest business in the legal sector to win the Silver Award under the MoD’s Employer Recognition Scheme, which is open to organisations who have signed the Armed Forces Covenant.
Lieutenant Colonel Salusbury said: “I’m delighted to congratulate Irwin Mitchell on its success in winning this award. A Silver Award recognises that a company has made a fantastic effort to provide fresh opportunities and tangible, best practice support to reservists, veterans and the wider military family. The Armed Forces community puts huge value on the commitment of employers who understand the business benefits that employing reservists or veterans can bring.”
Amanda Marsh, who leads our Armed Forces Compensation Scheme team, together with David Johnston-Keay who specialises in military noise induced hearing loss cases, picked up the award at a civic dinner in Bradford.
We’re delighted that our support for the Armed Forces community has been recognised. We have a long history of helping the wounded, injured and sick but the military is also an important recruitment channel for the firm.
Our experience in the sector means that we’re fully aware of the challenges of transitioning to civilian life.
