In honour of Armistice Day, Pepperells Solicitors has signed the Armed Forces Covenant, signalling its commitment to treat military personnel and their families with fairness and respect. This pledge acknowledges the vital contributions of the Armed Forces and underscores the importance of supporting those who serve.
The Armed Forces Covenant is founded on two key principles: ensuring that members of the Armed Forces and their families face no disadvantage in accessing services, and offering special consideration for those who have made significant sacrifices, such as the injured and bereaved. By signing this covenant, Pepperells has committed to uphold these principles in its practices.
Central to their commitment is a focus on employment opportunities. Pepperells aims to recruit veterans, reservists, and military spouses, recognising the distinctive skills and experiences they bring to the workforce. This reflects the firm’s belief in the discipline, resilience, and leadership qualities that servicemen and women can offer to any organisation.
Chief Operating Officer Vicky Kulleseid articulated the firm’s position, noting the unique role the Armed Forces play in safeguarding the UK and expressing a strong commitment to supporting these individuals and their families. She emphasised Pepperells’ intention to exceed the basic requirements of the Covenant through proactive recruitment efforts.
Furthermore, Nigel Manuel, operations manager and armed forces champion at Pepperells, highlighted his own military experience in understanding the challenges faced by service members transitioning to civilian life. His insights are instrumental in shaping the supportive measures Pepperells offers to this community.
Beyond employment, Pepperells plans to actively participate in events and initiatives that assist veterans and their families. By engaging in these activities, the firm aims to contribute positively to the lives of military communities across its service regions.
Pepperells Solicitors’ dedication to the Armed Forces Covenant is a testament to their commitment to the military community.
