In February 2018 Dundee & Angus Chamber of Commerce signed the Armed Forces Covenant. In doing so we've made a commitment to support the country's servicemen and women wherever and however we can, and to ensure no member of the Armed Forces should suffer any disadvantage as a result of their service.
The Chamber's commitments to honouring the Covenant include a pledge to:
Promote the fact it is an Armed Forces-friendly organisation.
Seek to support the employment of veterans young and old.
Strive to support the employment of Service spouses and partners.
