The award was presented to Raytheon UK by Ian Twinley MBE, His Majesty’s Deputy Lord-Lieutenant of Essex to coincide with the company’s annual Armed Forces Day celebration event.

“Supporting the armed forces community, both through the work we do and as they enter civilian life is a critical part of our culture,” said James Gray, managing director and chief executive of Raytheon UK. “Veterans have a huge pool of expertise and values that align with our mission and help us deliver the best service for our customers.”

Raytheon UK maintains close ties to the armed forces community in the region through employee and recruitment initiatives that support veterans re-training and re-entering civilian life. To achieve the award, the company proactively demonstrated their forces-friendly credentials in recruitment and selection processes, encouraged a positive environment for Reservists and be an exemplar in demonstrating support to the Cadet movement, mentoring cadets in key employment skills through its flagship Quadcopter Challenge competition.  

“It’s great to know there is so much support for the armed forces at Raytheon UK and within Harlow” said Chris Vince, Member of Parliament for Harlow. “Those who serve our country deserve the best support throughout their career, and Raytheon UK delivers this through their work and through supporting the community at all stages.”
