We are thrilled to announce that Passive Fire And Access has officially signed the Armed Forces Covenant, joining thousands of organisations across the UK in pledging support for our armed forces community.
What is the Armed Forces Covenant?
The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise from the nation that those who serve or have served in the armed forces, and their families, are treated fairly. It's a voluntary pledge that businesses can sign to demonstrate their commitment to supporting the armed forces community.
Why This Matters to Us
As a veteran-owned company, the Armed Forces Covenant holds special significance for us. Our founder served in the British Armed Forces, and the values instilled during that service – discipline, integrity, teamwork, and commitment to excellence – form the foundation of everything we do at Passive Fire And Access.
Our Covenant Pledges:
- Employment: We actively seek to employ veterans, reservists, and military spouses, recognising the valuable skills they bring.
- Flexibility: We provide additional leave for reservist training and deployment, supporting those who continue to serve.
- Recognition: We value military qualifications and experience in our recruitment and development processes.
- Support: We offer understanding and support to armed forces families, particularly during periods of deployment.
The Value Veterans Bring
Veterans bring exceptional qualities to the civilian workplace: leadership, adaptability, problem-solving under pressure, and an unwavering commitment to getting the job done. In industries like passive fire protection and rope access, where safety and precision are paramount, these qualities are invaluable.

Looking Forward
Signing the Armed Forces Covenant is just the beginning. We're committed to continually improving our support for the armed forces community and working towards recognition through the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme.
