Our military community has a golden touch

We were absolutely thrilled to be awarded the Ministry of Defence's Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award.

Our supportive HR policies to military Reservists, our assistance to service leavers, as well as the growth of our employee-led 'Cadent Military Community' (CMC) were held as exemplars, helping us to continue our journey towards being truly diverse and inclusive.

During a star-studded ceremony held at Lilleshall Hall National Sports Centre, our employees and CMC Chair Dave Mountfield accepted this award on behalf of the company. 

Dave said: "We created our Cadent Military Community four years ago with this award in our sights. It shows that Cadent is delivering tangible support to the armed forces community, as well as a commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant and our Veteran, Reservist, Cadet and forces family community. We are leading the way in the Energy Sector and look forward to helping others on their journey to supporting service leavers and reservists, as well as harnessing the abundant benefits associated.

"This is one of many fantastic work streams within the business to improve our diversity, equality and inclusion.  Since signing the Armed Forces Covenant in 2018 we have worked extremely hard across the organisation to create an environment of inclusivity for all”.

"Our Board and our executive team and everyone working here has shown leadership and commitment to the forces community”.

"I would like to thank all members of the Community for their input, insightfulness, humour, and dedication towards our shared objective.  We could not have achieved this without you!"
