SubSea Craft signs up to Armed Forces Covenant

SubSea Craft has formally marked its commitment to the British Armed Forces by signing the Armed Forces Covenant.

The Armed Forces Covenant is a pledge which acknowledges that those who serve in the armed forces and their families should be treated with fairness and respect.

The signing demonstrates the company’s recognition of the service that serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families contribute towards the UK and the value they bring to the workplace.
