Menzies Aviation receives top award from Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme

Menzies Aviation has received a UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) Gold Award for its outstanding support for the Armed Forces. The rare honour of achieving the Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Gold Award is testament to the company’s commitment to Defence and the Armed Forces Community, and its ongoing pledge to align its values with the Armed Forces Covenant.

This accolade confirms its forces-friendly credentials and true commitment to support and champion veterans, reserves and cadets through recruitment, charitable initiatives and workplace support.

Juliet Thomson, Chief People Officer, Menzies Aviation, said: “Aviation has a deep-rooted military history and at Menzies we recognise the valuable skill set that armed forces personnel can and do offer to our sector. We are deeply honoured by this recognition, just one year after receiving the Silver Award in 2022, and pledge to continue honouring and supporting the Armed Forces community.”

Minister for Defence People, Veterans and Service Families, Dr Andrew Murrison said: “I would like to thank all the organisations that have been recognised in this year’s awards. I’m delighted that we have seen so many organisations recognised with a gold award. Their continued support demonstrates the unique benefits and strengths that our Armed Forces community can bring to the workplace.” Menzies Aviation is one of 193 organisations from across the UK that has been recognised this year, the tenth year of the awards scheme.
