“The Armed Forces Covenant (AFC) framework for veterans to gain employment is in place at Argo but like other Argo employees who are veterans, we want to build on the work already done. There is a collective belief that the AFC is not just about helping veterans in the corporate way of life. In recognising what veterans have to offer, the opportunity to fully employ veterans’ skills and experience, is an act of business, not charity.”

“Argo is a strong supporter of the AFC, we are actively seeking and recruiting ex-military personnel to support their transition to find a new civilian career; translating skills, experience and qualifications into a successful civilian life. The AFC aligns closely with Argo's values to operate with integrity, respect, sustainability, and social responsibility. These values help us to build a strong and professional business culture, which our workforce embodies.”

“As an ex military man, I reflect on my own personal journey into civilian life, which in all honesty was challenging, raising questions such as “are my skills transferrable?” or “do people really want ex-military personnel?”. Having the AFC to assist in the transition from military to civilian employment, within companies that support this framework, can only be a positive and reassuring influence during the transition. Now that I'm in a position to proactively assist and support others going through this change, I take pleasure in being a partner of the AFC.”
