The team at Kellogg's in Wrexham has made a commitment to veterans, reservists, and their families by signing the Armed Forces Covenant.

The Covenant is a voluntary pledge that acknowledges by the organisation that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families, should be treated with fairness and respect.

Kellogg's actively supports the employment of veterans, recognising military skills and qualifications in its recruitment and selection process.

Chris Silcock, Kellogg UK managing director, said: “At Kellogg’s we believe everyone should have a place at the table.

"By signing the Armed Forces Covenant we hope to become a career destination for veterans. We will continue to actively support the employment of veterans, recognising military skills and qualifications in our recruitment and selection process.”

As well as colleagues from the company's Wrexham factory, Mr Silcock was joined by Commander Judith Barnes Royal Navy Reserve, Air Employer Engagement Regional Officer and Colonel Darren Doherty on Thursday at Kellogg’s MediaCity HQ to officially sign the Covenant.

Colonel Darren Doherty, Commander Army North West Region, said: “I am delighted to witness a huge global company such as Kellogg's, and one with roots firmly in the North West, publicly pledging their continued support to the Armed Forces community: serving regular, reserves, veterans and their families, by signing the Armed Forces Covenant. I look forward to supporting Kellogg’s in their next steps towards achieving award status as part of the Armed Forces Employer Recognition Scheme.”

Kellogg’s donated 19,000 servings of food over the past year to charities across the UK who state their primary audience as military personnel, veterans or their families. This includes residential settings, training centres, drop in and day centres.
