Ex-service personnel bring a wealth of skills and attributes to the business world!
I am proud to champion the employment of exservice personnel and veterans in our business community. Employing ex-service personnel is a strategic advantage. Their unparalleled leadership, discipline, and problem-solving abilities translate into a workforce that is both highly effective and reliable.
e s s a g e
Veterans possess specialised training and technical expertise, honed through rigorous military experience, often unmatched in the civilian sector. Tapping into the veteran talent pool can significantly address labour and skills shortages across various industries. Veterans bring hands-on experience, critical thinking abilities, leadership qualities, and a disciplined approach to work, making them highly effective in diverse roles.
By actively recruiting and hiring veterans, companies can build a stronger, more capable, and dedicated workforce. Act now to strengthen your team by leveraging the unique skills, experience, and unwavering dedication of veterans. By hiring veterans, you're not only gaining highly capable and adaptable employees but also supporting those who have served our country.
Make a commitment today to integrate veterans into your organisation and watch your business thrive with its unparalleled expertise and resilience.

The council's decision to withdraw support for the project jeopardises the future of women's rugby league, leaving players without adequate amenities and reinforcing the urgent necessity for proper facilities to support and grow the sport for women
