What is a Veteran

Veterans are defined as anyone who has served for at least one day in Her Majesty’s Armed Forces (Regular or Reserve) or Merchant Mariners who have seen duty on legally defined military operations. There are currently 2.4 million Veterans in Great Britain.

Listen to our team of Veterans talk about their experiences transitioning from the UK Armed Forces and what the word ‘Veteran’ means to them.

Why do Veterans make great business owners

After leaving the Service, many Veterans put their military skills to practice in the commercial sector. Consequently Veteran owned businesses are on the rise across a wide range of industries. In the video, 3 Veterans talk about their own experiences and why Veterans excel as small business owners. Read more about the contribution Veterans are making to the small business market in A Force for Business: Service leavers and Small Business.

Veteran community response to COVID-19 support

The Veteran community understands what it means to stand up and serve. Leaving the UK Armed Forces doesn’t change that dedication to service and during the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve seen thousands of Veterans stand up and serve once again.
