The company has been recognised by the Armed Forces Covenant, a government scheme in which businesses sign up to a commitment to support veterans and where possible, go above and beyond in helping them with employment in civilian life.
A third of Risk Evolves’ nine members of staff are ex-army personnel. The company has been presented with the Silver Award by the Covenant.
Director, Helen Barge took a personal interest in the scheme when her brother Michael, a former soldier left the army after twenty-six years.
Ms Barge said: “A strong work ethic, adaptability and reliability are embedded in those who served in the military. These are skills which are highly transferrable. All we have to do is teach them the commercial side of how businesses operate.”
