Businesses across Lincolnshire are being invited to a dedicated event designed to connect them with skilled military veterans and explore opportunities for collaboration, recruitment, and procurement.
Set for 25 June at the Officer’s Mess in Prince William of Gloucester Barracks, Grantham, the Mission Business event will feature presentations by veteran business owners, talks by serving personnel, and insights on how military skills translate to the civilian workforce.
Organised by South Kesteven District Council in partnership with the Ministry of Defence and Business Unfinished consultancy, the event targets employers interested in leveraging military-trained talent. Attendees will learn how hiring reservists can bring training benefits worth up to £10,000, as well as how to access defence sector contracts through the Greater Lincolnshire Defence and Security Cluster (GLRDSC).
The event aligns with the council’s ongoing commitment to veteran employment, demonstrated by its MoD gold award under the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme and its current employment of former service members in roles such as waste collection and grounds maintenance.
