Blairs Windows and Doors participated in the recent Armed Forces Covenant (AFC) Business Breakfast, hosted by Lowland Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association (RFCA) in partnership with Trump Turnberry.
Building on the success of last year’s inaugural event, the breakfast brought together over 200 guests, including Reservists, Cadet Force Adult Volunteers (CFAVs), and representatives from more than 100 businesses and organisations committed to supporting the defence community.
With a rich history of military service, having served as an airfield and military hospital during both World Wars, Turnberry proved an ideal location for networking and celebrating the commitment of Forces-friendly employers.
The morning saw 43 Lowlands-based employers receive the ERS Bronze Award, which recognises organisations pledging their support to current and former members of the defence community through the Armed Forces Covenant.
Two organisations were also honoured with the ERS Silver Award, acknowledging their active support for military employees through established HR policies and the provision of additional leave for Reservist training.
Lieutenant Colonel Lee Curson, Commanding Officer of 6 SCOTS, presented the ERS awards on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Alex Gray, managing director of Blairs Windows and Doors, pictured alongside Joe Boyd, operations manager, commented: “We are pleased that Blairs Windows and Doors is among the esteemed recipients of the ERS Bronze Award, demonstrating our commitment to supporting veterans and reservists within the workforce.”
