Northrop Grumman UK signed the Armed Forces Covenant on January 11, reaffirming commitment to support the UK military personnel, reservists, veterans, and their families.
British Army officer General Sir Patrick Sanders KCB CBE DSO ADC Gen attended the signing ceremony of the Covenant at Northrop Grumman’s London office.
General Sir Patrick Sanders stated, “The scale and longevity of Northrop Grumman’s commitment to working with the Armed Forces community is now matched by this public pledge of support, which sees them join a growing family of institutions to have stepped forward and sign the Covenant.”
“On behalf of all my fellow Defence Chiefs, I wish to express my appreciation to Northrop Grumman for their pledge and look forward to deepening our Partnership to strengthen the defence, security and prosperity of the United Kingdom,” General Sir Patrick Sanders added.
Northrop Grumman Chief executive UK, Europe and Middle East, Nick Chaffey said, “We proudly employ veterans across our organisation, acknowledging the unique skills and experience they bring to work every day.”
“Signing the Armed Forces Covenant is another example of our enduring pledge to support the UK military, its personel and those who have served,” Chaffey added.
According to Northrop Grumman’s release, the signing of the Covenant is yet another example of the company’s support to recognize military skills and qualifications in its recruitment and selection process to support the employment of service leavers. “The company takes an adaptable and supportive approach to providing employment opportunities to service spouses and partners, before, during and after deployment,” the release read.
