SaBRE Certificates of Support

The past year has seen a continuing demand for SaBRE Certificates of Support. And in fact over 100 have been awarded.

The certificates are issued under the signature of the Secretary of State for Defence and the Chief of the Defence Staff and are awarded to organisations who meet the criteria of Supportive Employers. They can be shown to employees, customers and suppliers to demonstrate support for employees who are or may become Reservists.

Recent presentations of certificates include:

  • Avanta Managed Offices Limited at the Ministry of Defence in Whitehall
  • London Borough of Barnet at a full council meeting
  • Tullett Prebon at the Windsor Castle Royal Tattoo

If you would like to be considered for the award of a certificate, please contact Mark Richards.

Regional Employer Support Advisory Group

The Regional Employer Advisory Support Group (RESAG) consists of London employers, employers’ organizations and service representatives. It considers issues that arise from the employment of Reservists. The RESAG includes London representatives from the National Employer Advisory Board (NEAB), the body which advises the Secretary of State of Defence on issues surrounding the employment of Reservists.

 

Richard Boggis-Rolfe has been appointed the new Chairman of NEAB. Mr Boggis-Rolfe is the Chief Executive of Odgers Berndtson, the international recruitment company. If you have an issue you think should be discussed by the RESAG, or you are interested in serving on the Group, please contact Mark Richards.
