Veterans Outreach Support has been awarded the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) 2025 Gold Award, the highest honour for employers championing the Armed Forces community.
This prestigious award reflects VOS’ commitment to supporting veterans, reservists, and their families as they transition to civilian careers and continue serving society in new ways.
VOS Chief Executive Officer, Ian Millen, said:
“It’s a proud moment for all of us. This Gold ERS award is testament to the team’s dedication and to VOS’s commitment as a veteran-friendly employer and Armed Forces Covenant Fund advocate. We value the skills, resilience and humanity that veterans, their spouses/partners bring – not only to the workplace, but to one another.
“We are also a place where UK Armed Forces Reservists and Cadet Adult Volunteers can work, safe in the knowledge that we will release them for their important duties in our nation’s defence and in nurturing the next generation of Armed Forces personnel. We are delighted to be amongst those leading organisations spearheading change and opportunities for those who have served. Our thanks to SERFCA for helping us through the process and a very special thank you to Mandy Blackler, Veterans Management Champion(Isle of Wight NHS Trust), who helped us enormously along the way.”
