Elbit Systems UK (ESUK) is delighted to be sharing the fantastic news that it has achieved the Gold Award under the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) – the Ministry of Defence's highest recognition for employers that demonstrate exceptional support for the Armed Forces community.

The prestigious award recognises ESUK's longstanding commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant and the people who have served – or continue to serve – in uniform. Today, one third of ESUK's workforce has either served in the Armed Forces or continues to serve as a reservist, bringing invaluable experience, leadership and operational insight to the business.

Over the past year alone, ESUK has welcomed a further 19 veterans into the organisation while continuing to provide additional paid leave for reservists undertaking military training and operational commitments.

As a business dedicated to equipping and supporting the British Armed Forces, ESUK recognises the unique skills, professionalism and resilience that veterans and reservists bring. Their expertise strengthens the business and helps deliver the advanced technologies that keep UK Armed Forces personnel better trained, better equipped and mission ready.

Receiving Gold marks another milestone in ESUK's ongoing support for the Armed Forces community. The business intends to continue to strengthen its support for veterans, reservists, service leavers, Cadet Force Adult Volunteers and military families through dedicated policies, mentoring, wellbeing initiatives and career development. ESUK will also continue encouraging organisations across its supply chain to strengthen their own Armed Forces Covenant commitments.
