WIthin the prestige rooms of the historic Old College,attendess also heard from Shadow Minister for Veterans Andrew Bowie MP and enjoyed a keynote by former Special Forces soldier and TV personality, Ollie Ollerton.
After a traditional Army curry lunch, attendees were treated to a short walking tour of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Taken by veteran tour guides, attendee tracked down the corridors and hallowed rooms of the 200-year-Old College before a visit to the Royal Memorial Chapel.
Strengthening Commitment to Veterans
It was fantastic to discuss with like-minded organisations how we can help veterans overcome the challenges they face in securing civilian roles. Over the coming months, we’ll be working closely with our managers to help them take the knowledge they gained at this event forward and increase the number of veterans we’re hiring.
