Armed Forces Corporate Covenant
Armed Forces Corporate Covenant
A Defence supplier of 20+ years, Quadratek has in that time employed, & continues to employee, a number of Veterans and Reservists in a variety of roles across a number of project types. Having been an Armed Forces Corporate Covenant supporter since 2014 pledging our support to those currently serving and those who have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, ensuring they are given equal employment opportunities, we have re-signed the covenant to renew and affirm our commitment with a more ‘tailored’ covenant. We are using the re-signing as a reason to SHOUT about the benefits for companies to pledge their commitment to supporting the Armed Forces community.
To pledge your company’s support to the Armed Forces, please sign-up to the Corporate Covenant https://www.armedforcescovenant.gov.uk/get-involved/sign-the-covenant/
Employer Recognition Scheme
Employer Recognition Scheme
In 2018 we became an Employer Recognition Scheme Bronze award winner, followed 2 years later with a Silver award evidencing our strengthened support. The scheme encourages employers to do more to support those with a connection to the Armed Forces including Veterans, Reservists, Cadet Forces Adult Volunteers, and their families in their local area.
2023 saw us ‘Going for, and being awarded, Gold’; the highest national level award to employers who demonstrate advocacy for Reservists, Veterans, Cadet Forces Adult Volunteers (CFAVs), and their families, joining a select band of organisations in the South East who have earned a Gold award since the scheme was introduced in 2014. We have updated our Reservists Policy to offer flexible working arrangements and polices for staff.

This Year's Chosen Charity
For 2025 we have chosen to donate to the RAF Benevolent Fund to support the invaluable work they do.
About the RAF Benevolent Fund:
“The Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund is the leading welfare charity supporting current and former members of the Royal Air Force and their families, providing practical, emotional, and financial support whenever they need us. We are committed to getting them through the toughest times, whatever life may send their way. From the youngest child to the oldest veteran, we’ll consider any request for assistance, however big or small, providing a tailor-made approach to each individual situation.
In 2023, we spent £18.9M delivering our welfare services, which enabled us to support over 27,800 serving personnel, 14,300 veterans, and their families. We will continue to serve as the RAF Family’s safety net and remain ready to act when needed, as we have done for over 100 years. For more information, visit https://www.rafbf.org
