The British Institute of Kitchen, Bedroom & Bathroom Installation is very proud to announce it has been awarded Silver status in the Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme.
BiKBBI became a signatory to the Armed Forces Covenant in 2020, joining 4,000 other businesses nationwide in promising to ensure that those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces, and their families, are treated fairly, and subsequently achieved a bronze award in the Employer Recognition Scheme, a programme designed to acknowledge employers who have provided exceptional support to the armed forces community.
In March 2024, BiKBBI embarked on upgrading its Employer Recognition Scheme status from bronze to silver, which entailed a rigorous application process including demonstrating its support for Defence and actively communicating and upholding a positive stance to employees via established human resources policies and procedures.
Damian Walters, CEO at BiKBBI commented ‘BiKBBI has proudly supported the Ministry of Defence and the Armed Forces Covenant for many years, firstly in support of the brave forces personnel that give so much to, and have given up so much for, our country. Secondly, we recognise the opportunity to support highly trained ex-services personnel with transferable skills by bringing them into the KBB sector, thus supporting our industry too. We joined the Employer Recognition Scheme not only to recognise our efforts to date, but with the express interest to keep improving and growing the support that we provide to the armed forces community. We are thrilled to achieve the Silver Award, the next milestone in our journey towards our ultimate goal of the Gold Award.’
