The sixth episode of the Being Forces-Friendly podcast is here and we're talking about Armed Forces networks. Joined by experts from DHL, HSBC and Rolls-Royce, this is your one stop shop for everything you need know to launch and run your own.

The fifth episode of the Being Forces-Friendly podcast is here. We are joined by representatives from three different organisations which have one big thing in common. They are all recipients of this year's Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Awards.

Join us to find out how Combat Pest Control is helping clear land mines in Afghanistan. Also, how Wolferstans Solicitors is getting even more involved with the Poppy Appeal. And what South Central Ambulance Service NHS Trust is already planning for the future.

We'll also be getting tips from these gold standard organisations on what it takes to achieve Defence ERS Gold.

In the latest episode of the Being Forces-Friendly Podcast we talk to two of the Armed Forces community’s biggest supporters, Helen Swift from Airbus and Mark Ascott from BT.

Join us as we take an inside look at the effect that the Armed Forces community are having on two major UK businesses and the benefits they have found in them.

We'll also be discussing how these two organisations are going above and beyond to create equal opportunities for our Reserves, veterans, wounded, injured and sick and spouses.

In the latest episode of the Being Forces-Friendly podcast we talk to Britain's most senior Reserve, Major General Munro, and United Utilities' Sally Cabrini about Reserves Day and how they'll be celebrating this year.

Last month we enjoyed a day of speeches, seminars and networking at the Partnering with Defence Conference.

We heard fantastic speeches from the Secretary of State for Defence, the Rt Hon Sir Michael Fallon as well as two incredibly impressive female veterans who are challenging the idea of what a veteran is. But while we were there we took a moment to talk to some of the other experts attending this year's event; the guests!

In this month's Being Forces-friendly podcast our host Olivia sits down throughout one of the biggest day in Defence's calendar to pick the guests brains about their views on the conference, their organisations efforts to support and what it means to be Forces-friendly.

Want to find out more about partnering with Defence and what it means to be a Forces-friendly organisation? Then Being Forces Friendly is the podcast for you!

Join us every month for a mini podcast where we'll be sitting down with guests from the Armed Forces, government and business and getting the inside knowledge from the experts.

This month we sat down with Minister Mark Lancaster to find out more about the Armed Forces Covenant from one of its biggest advocates.
