Derbyshire employers receive MOD award
21 Derbyshire-based employers from both the public and private sector have been awarded for supporting Defence personnel.
The businesses from Alfreton, Derby, Matlock, Chesterfield, Ripley and Buxton received a Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Silver award for demonstrating their support to Reservist employees. The awards were presented by Her Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant for Derbyshire, William Tucker at Morley Hayes Hotel, Main Road, Morley, Derbyshire on Tuesday 9 December 2014.
Reservists are men and women who give up their free time to train alongside our regular (full-time) military forces and may be called on to serve the country in times of need at home or aboard.
John Wilson, Regional SaBRE (Supporting Britain’s Reservists and Employers) Campaign Director for the East Midlands, said: “The presentation event was a great success with many of those in attendance having the opportunity to speak to other Derbyshire employers about their experiences of employing Reservists.
“The MOD received over 500 nominations for Silver awards across the UK and 85 have been awarded to employers based in the East Midlands.”
Al Prescott, Managing Director at HZL in Derby, attended the event. He said: “HZL value the skill set that Reservists bring to the organisation. We are very proud to be both nominated for the award and to be presented with the certificate today.”
Rob Cox, On Train Planning Strategy Manager at East Midlands Trains, said: “We are very supportive of our staff who serve in the Armed Forces as Reservists. We see this as an opportunity for individuals to develop themselves and understand the benefits that their transferable skills bring to our business. We are focussed on delivering great service to our customers so the way in which individual Reservists present themselves
and interact with our customers makes a real difference.”
Julian Brazier TD MP, Minister for Reserves said: “I am delighted with the positive response to the Defence’s Employer Recognition Scheme, launched by the Prime Minister in July this year. Over 360 employers have already been recognised with the Silver Award via this scheme. We look forward to recognising many more employers in future.”

•Bronze. Employers who wish to demonstrate a positive attitude towards employees who are Reservists, Armed Forces veterans or Cadet Force adult volunteers, are able to sign up online for a Bronze award: go to www.sabre.mod.uk and click on the ‘Employer Recognition Scheme’ banner.

•The Gold award recognises those who have become advocates for the support of Defence personnel. The Gold award is an annual process and, for 2014, ten inaugural Gold award recipients were hosted at a Reception by the Prime minister at Downing Street in July. Gold awards for 2015 will be considered in the New Year.
