Gold ERS
Thursday, 31st October, Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Awards 2024 took place in the Long Room at the Honourable Artillery Company, City of London honouring 24 London-based organisations.
These 24 organisations are now part of an exclusive club of just over 1000 Gold ERS Award holders nationally and almost 100 in the Greater London area.
Sir Ken Olisa OBE, the Lord-Lieutenant of Greater London attended the event as the keynote speaker and awarded the organisations along with representation from the tri-service: AVM Ranald Munro CB CBE TD VR DL (Commandant General of the RAuxAF and Chair of Greater London RFCA), Captain Paul Hill RD RNR (Maritime Reserve and Chair of City RFCA) and Lieutenant Colonel Darren Johnston (SO1 Engagement at the London District HQ).
The ERS Gold Awards are a pivotal initiative within the framework of the Armed Forces Covenant (AFC) programme, aimed at fostering support for the Armed Forces community and recognising organisations making substantial contributions in this domain. The AFC programme seeks to raise awareness about the importance of supporting our service members and veterans, encouraging businesses to engage in activities that contribute to their welfare.
