Survitec awarded UK Government Gold Award

Survitec, one of 156 UK companies to have been awarded this year’s badge of honour, was recognized as a business that employs and supports serving members and veterans of the UK armed forces and their families.

To be considered for the prestigious award, defence industry suppliers must hold a valid Silver Award certificate and have signed the UK’s defence industry covenant. They must also demonstrate support for reservists, assist in their mobilisation, and provide at least 10 additional days paid leave for training.

Ron Krisanda, Executive Chairman at Survitec, said: “In addition to this UK award, we continue to work with organizations all over the world to support service personnel. We'd like to send a heartfelt thank you to our colleagues who have and those who are still currently serving their countries.”

Survitec recognition was granted for advocating the benefit of recruiting from the Armed Forces community across industry from suppliers to customers encouraging them to sign up to the Armed Forces Covenant and engage in their Employer Recognition Scheme. The business developed relationships with Royal Tank and Mercian Regiments alongside a desire to partner and support Sea Cadets.

In addition, Survitec recruited a Veteran & Armed Forces Champion, committed to establishing an Armed Forces Network and designed and implemented a Reserve Forces Training and Mobilization Policy.
