Alstom was among the recent winners of the Gold Award as part of the Ministry of Defence’s Employer Recognition Scheme.

The scheme was launched in 2013 and is a badge of honour to those who employ and support military personnel, service leavers and their families.

Alongside Alstom, the winners included Northamptonshire Police, West Northamptonshire Council and Rail Operations Group.

The Gold Award will be presented to Alstom / ROG at a ceremony in October.

Nick Crossfield, Managing Director for rolling stock manufacturer Alstom UK & Ireland, said: “Achieving the Gold Award for the Armed Forces Covenant is a remarkable achievement, and we are dedicated to using this recognition as a catalyst to further enhance our support for the military community and create meaningful opportunities for their transition and growth.”
