Celerity Commits to Supporting the Armed Forces Community

The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise from the nation that those who serve or have served in the armed forces, and their families, are treated fairly. It asks organisations across the country to recognise the contribution that regular and reservist personnel, veterans and military families make to their communities, their economy and society. It is not a charity. It depends on businesses, communities and individuals choosing to take part. 

Many people who served in the forces go on to work in technology, and we are fortunate to employ some of these talented and hard-working individuals. Discipline, calm under pressure and a commitment to doing the job properly are qualities that carry straight across into the work we do for our clients, from protecting critical systems to keeping complex infrastructure running.

Our values are central to how we operate, and the Covenant fits naturally with them. As our story explains, we have been building technology services since 2002, and our commitment to Integrity extends to how we treat the people who work with us and the communities around us.

Celerity commits to uphold the Armed Forces Covenant and to support the Armed Forces community. That means providing support and opportunity for current and ex-service people and their families, and making sure they are treated fairly and with respect. 

“Many people who served in the forces work in the tech industry and we are fortunate to employ some of these talented and hard-working individuals. Celerity believes strongly in the Armed Forces Covenant and we pledge our commitment to ensuring we provide support and opportunity for current and ex service people and their families and that they are treated fairly and with respect. This is also close to my heart. My dad served in the Army for 22 years and seeing the dedication he gave to his country and his regiment is something I am extremely proud of, and as a business is closely aligned with one of our core values of Integrity.”
