"The finalists for the sixth annual British Ex-Forces in Business Awards, the Armed Forces community's biggest awards ceremony, demonstrate the huge value that veterans offer.

‍

The Ex-Forces in Business Awards were established in 2017. By promoting the vast breadth of achievements by veterans in second careers, the prestigious awards programme, which is the largest of its kind globally, shines a light on the veteran talent pool while also increasing visibility of business role models for service leavers. The awards have led the way in showcasing the second-career achievements of over 1,200 UK veterans and reservists at events which have been attended by thousands of employers and engaged with by millions more online. This year's awards programme, which returns to London for the sixth time has attracted more than 1,100 nominations. Each one, in its own right exhibits the business case of hiring from the ex-forces community.
