IDS is proud to have received the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Bronze Award in recognition of our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant and support for the Armed Forces community. This award reflects our pledge to be an armed forces‑friendly organisation and to ensure that those who serve, or have served, and their families are treated fairly.
Receiving the Bronze Award is an important milestone in our Armed Forces Covenant journey, and we are committed to building on this foundation in the years ahead. We would like to thank our service personnel, veterans, reservists and their families within IDS for their contribution, as well as our colleagues who support them.
“We are honoured to receive the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme Bronze Award. This milestone is the first step in our journey to become a leading forces friendly employer. IDS has a long history of supporting Armed Forces leavers, with several past and current managers particularly within our Operations delivery and Design teams bringing invaluable experience from their time in service. We are committed to building on this achievement, growing our support for veterans, reservists and military families, and progressing to higher levels of recognition in the years ahead. We thank our Armed Forces colleagues and pledge to build on this recognition with inclusive policies and opportunities for all.” Ian Minshull, Operations Manager and former Royal Marine
