Galliford Try given bronze award by the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme

The award recognises our ongoing commitment to the armed forces community and follows our 2016 signing of the Armed Forces Covenant – a voluntary pledge signed by businesses and charitable organisations who wish to demonstrate their support for the armed forces.

The ERS scheme, established in 2014, encourages employers to develop and maintain an armed forces-friendly environment and encompasses three progressive Award levels (bronze, silver and gold) for employer organisations.

Bill Hocking, chief executive, construction and investments, said: “As a bronze award holder, we take a positive stance towards existing or prospective employees who are members of the armed forces community.

“We recognise the value that people who have uniformed service experience bring to our organisation and to our many clients’ organisations.”
