BJF Group has officially pledged our support for members of the Armed Forces and their families by signing the Armed Forces Covenant.
As a key service provider on Ministry of Defence projects and contracts for many years, as well as an active employer of ex-service personnel BJF Group has recently signed the Armed Forces Covenant. By signing the Armed Forces Covenant we are making firm commitments to be an Armed Forces-friendly employer.
The Armed Forces Covenant, which has now been signed by over 4,000 businesses, charitable organisations, government departments and local authorities is a promise to ensure that members of the Armed Forces who are actively serving or have served are treated fairly.
The scope of the promises made by BJF Group are wide ranging and include:
- Continuing to work with the Careers Transition Partnership to provide careers guidance and opportunities to service leavers
- Providing a level of flexibility where possible to employees who are members of the Armed Forces as well as their spouses and families
- Supporting and recognising the contribution made by our Armed Forces on national days of remembrance
- Continuing to support Armed Forces charities

Barry Foster, Managing Director at BJF Group said:
“Our much-valued Armed Forces give so much to serve our country and we have always tried to recognise this as a business.
We already employ a number of ex-service personnel and have found that they bring huge value to our business, especially on the large Ministry of Defence contracts and projects that we are involved with.
Signing the Armed Forces Covenant formally confirms our commitment to being an Armed Forces-positive employer and will hopefully encourage more service-leavers and their families to join BJF Group.”
