In today’s episode we look at the current state of veteran employment and why it is such an important issue. Kate Silverton is joined by James Reed, Chairman of Reed Recruitment, Lyn Webb, veteran and Chief Information Security Officer at the Open University, Neil Jackson, veteran and Director of Defence Relationship Management, and Brigadier John Mark Lancaster, Baron Lancaster of Kimbolton, former minister for the Armed Forces and a serving Senior Officer in the Army Reserves.

Thank you to Joanna Lumley for introducing the episode.

Veterans Work is the UK’s leading independent veteran employability campaign and a collaboration between Deloitte, Forces in Mind Trust and the Officers’ Association. This new podcast series produced by The Drive Project continues to explore the skills and talent that make veterans such a huge asset to business; it also builds on the existing narrative by exploring their impact on organisational culture, reflecting on veterans’ new profile as a result of the UK’s pandemic response, and the opportunities this provides.
