Emerge, a leading transport and logistics provider based in Stoke-on-Trent, has committed to support members of the UK military community by signing the Armed Forces Covenant (AFC).

The AFC is a pledge by businesses to recognise the dedication and sacrifices made by members of the armed forces, both past and present.

In signing, Emerge – which is a member of the Palletways UK network – demonstrates its commitment to provide support, recognition and opportunities for those who have or continue to serve their country, and pledges to uphold a set of values and principles that will guide its efforts to assist active personnel, veterans, reservists and their families.

Tasha Oram, Head of Transport at Emerge, said: “We’re incredibly proud to have two ex-forces members on the team. Their work ethic, resilience and commitment are evident every day.

 

“Being a Bronze Employer Recognition Scheme holder reflects our belief in recognising those who’ve served and giving back to the wider community. It’s something we value deeply and are excited to build on further in the near future.”

 

Warwick Trimble, Network Director for Palletways UK, added: “Backing the armed forces community is an area we take seriously across the network and we’re proud to see members like Emerge taking meaningful action to engage with and support service personnel and veterans.”
