Consortio Security | Armed Forces Covenant Accreditation

Earl Knight, CEO at Consortio Security, commented:

“Consortio Security are proud to be recognised as an MOD ERS Gold Award winner.

With many of our employees coming from a military background we understand the benefits of hiring reservists and veterans.

Military personnel bring a variety of transferable skills and qualities to the civilian workplace, which they develop throughout their military careers. Consequently there are many proven benefits of hiring veterans. Therefore all companies should consider signing the covenant.”

Consortio Security has military personnel implemented at all levels of the organisation.

From our CEO through to our security officers, we have employees with a military background. Below are just a few examples of some of our current employees and which regiment they served.

Above all we continue to employ and support individuals who have come from the Armed Forces as well as strengthening our current workforce by attending the MOD future leadership programmes. There are several parallels between Consortio Security and the Armed Forces with regards to our daily challenges, our values and strong team ethos. Employees who have come from a military background have brought a depth of discipline and a broad range of knowledge to our business. This has been crucial in supporting our continued growth and expansion.
