Building Futures for Veterans and Service Leavers
A Place for Veterans to Thrive
At Reds10, we deeply value the skills, dedication, and unique perspectives that veterans bring to our team. Our growing veteran community is a cornerstone of our company, creating a supportive environment where individuals with military backgrounds can connect, collaborate, and excel. Joining Reds10 means joining a team that understands and appreciates your journey.
We also understand that transitioning from military to civilian life can feel uncertain - especially when it comes to the transferability of skills. At Reds10, we work closely with you to identify how your experiences can be applied and expanded in our dynamic, innovative environment. Whether it's through training, collaboration, or hands-on opportunities, we're here to make sure you thrive.
When you join Reds10, you're not just joining a workplace - you're becoming part of a family. A family that recognises your contributions, invests in your growth, and provides the tools and community you need to call Reds10 home. Together, we're building a future where your skills and experiences shine.
The Employer's Perspective
"Reds10 is a strong supporter of Armed Forces personnel, both Veterans and serving. It recognises the selfless commitment we make for our countru and the skills and capability we bring to the business. We actively recruit Veterans and strongly support anyone that wishes to serve as a Reservist.
There's a palpable sense of pride in those of our team that are Reservists. The personal skills they learn from their training is reflected in their approach and attitude to their work and lifts the whole team with them; they are becoming leaders and examples for others to emulate".
The Veterans' Perspective
"Joining Reds10 after serving in the Army for 25 years has been a rewarding transition. The military instilled in me discipline, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, all of which seamlessly align with Reds10's innovative approach to construction. The company's focus on precision and efficiency mirrors the operational excellence I was accustomed to in the Army.
Moreover, the supportive environment at Reds10 made me feel valued as a veteran, offering opportunities to grow and contribute meaningfully. It's fulfilling to see how my military experience translates into building structures that serve communities to ensure service personnel live, learn and thrive in amazing spaces".
We have delivered 75 buildings for the MoD, with a further 15 buildings in pre construction or on site.
24 veterans in the business represents
6% of our workforce.
Armed Forces Covenant
Supporting the Armed Forces Community, whether that is actively serving personnel, Veterans, or Reservists is of incredible importance to us.
Our close connection to the military through our work with the Ministry of Defence, as well as our ever-growing Veterans Community within the business drives us to do what we can to support a group that has given so much already in their careers.
In 2024, Reds10 achieved the Silver Award in the Armed Forces Covenant for our support for Reservists and Veterans. Serving as a Reserve is not only incredibly important to our national security, but is of amazing benefit to the individual's development.
The Reservist's Perspective
"I feel that the main aspects of training such as being on top of personal admin and making effective decisions at the correct time has allowed me to see my role in Reds10 in a new light. I feel that my overall performance and confidence in the role has increased tenfold.
The support from Reds10 has had a great impact on my life. Knowing that I am supported in having another commitment apart from Reds10 has greatly increased my mental health, meaning I am still able to enjoy my hobbies outside of my busy schedule".
Supporting our Armed Forces
BuildForce
Our partnership with BuildForce is an integral part of our support for Veterans. The transition from military to civilian employment, and life, can be challenging, and often uncertain. BuildForce does incredible work to help people as they navigate this transition. We are proud to support them through mentorship and employment opportunities with us.
Royal British Legion Industries
RBLI is a national Veterans charity supporting the Armed Forces, people with disabilities and people who are unemployed. They improve lives everyday by inspiring those they help, supporting them to find work and lead independent lives. Reds10 has continued to get behind causes that support Veterans, working with RBLI to get involved in their fundraising as well as onboarding their VCSE, Britain's Bravest Manufacturing Company, into our supply chain, so that we can continue to support them through procurement as well as fundraising.
Helping Homeless Veterans
Reds10 have continued our support of Helping Homeless Veterans with sponsorship of two flats in Talbot Mews, providing accommodation and wrap around support for homeless Veterans. A Veteran who was living in one of the Reds10 rooms at Talbot Mews, has recently moved out and started working for Mercedes-AMG PATRONAS Formula 1, an incredible example of why we believe in investing in projects such as these.
