The Employer Engagement team had the honour of hosting key employers from the Region at two prestigious events in June 2018, to thank them for their continued support of Military personnel and the work they do within their organisations to Partner with Defence.
The Queen’s Birthday Parade on 9th June, dawned with glorious sunshine as Colonel Richard Maybery and Debra Barton hosted 20 employers, some of whom had achieved Gold on the Employer Recognition Scheme.

Following this amazing event the West Midland RFCA and their guests attended a delicious buffet lunch at the Army and Navy Club on Pall Mall, where Colonel Maybery thanked them for the continued work they do to support the Armed Forces community.
On the 10th June another 15 key employers from the region were hosted by Colonel Richard Maybery, Debra Barton and Philip Sinclair, at the annual Cosford Air show.
