• our team offering informal networking opportunities and introductions to the teams wider personal networks;  
• endeavouring to offer a degree of flexibility in granting leave and flexible working conditions for Service spouses and partners before, during and after a partner’s deployment; 
• recognising the value of military skills and qualifications when recruiting and interviewing for new positions; 
• offering support to our local cadet units, either in our local community or in local schools, where possible;
