Supacat Limited

Description

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

Supacat will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are: 

  • no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen
  • in some circumstances special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.

Demonstrating our Commitment:

At Supacat we aim to produce world leading Defence products through innovative design solutions.  Providing outstanding capability to our Armed Forces requires motivated and highly trained people. Supacat recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business and therefore we will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant. 

  • Promoting the fact that we are an armed forces-friendly organisation by employing a number of ex-service personnel and their spouses whether they are young or old ;
  • Recognising the skills and experience of veterans and utilising them into various leadership or technical roles;
  • Enabling employees who are active members of the Reserve to attend training commitments and provide additional paid leave periods as stated in the Staff Handbook;
  • offering our continued support to our local cadet units including the Ten Tors, our engineering open day for the local schools and colleges where possible;
  • actively participating in Armed Forces Day with provision of military vehicles and Reservists where possible;
  • adopting a flexible and sympathetic approach to requests of leave from employees before and after operational deployments;
  • Promoting the Armed Forces Para Snow sports team (AFPST) with technical and financial support;
  • Promoting and supporting the Army through Team Army/Ethos with financial and networking support;
  • striving to support 6 Bn The RIFLES recruiting, CTCRM, other local units and local service charities at exhibitions and shows throughout the West Country;
  • committing to review progress of our commitments we have pledged.

We will publicise these commitments through our literature, newsletters and on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
