Britain’s Bravest keep the nation running during lockdown

BRITAIN’S BRAVEST MANUFACTURING CO.

VETERANS BECOME PART OF THE NATIONAL EFFORT DURING COVID-19

BBMC veterans declared as key workers to produce and distribute essential supplies during the pandemic.

As the country went into lockdown, the veterans working in our Kent social enterprise, Britain’s Bravest Manufacturing Company were providing essential products to help keep Britain running.

Throughout lockdown, this dedicated team have been producing essential products for ventilator transport, the food and pharmaceutical industries, as well as signage for crucial infrastructure projects.

As a result, the workforce were declared key workers essential to the national supply chain.

Their mission to keep Britain running became a source of immense pride amongst the workforce, many of whom feel they benefit from getting out and going to work each day.

Living with a disability, illness or life-changing injury, combined with lack of social interaction and unemployment can be devastating on mental health. For our veterans, having a sense of purpose is key and is what makes BBMC so special.

Managing Director of RBLI’s social enterprise Kate Bull said:

“It’s amazing to think that many of our team, having served their country in the past, are doing it once again.

As we now face a substantial rise in unemployment, it is crucial that businesses which are still able to function think even more about the effects of their staffing choices on societal needs.

As an organisation which has provided crucial employment opportunities for more than a century, the health and mental well-being of our team is our top priority. So we’ve taken every measure to ensure that our team is safe whilst still being able to provide such essential products.”
