With our London event fast approaching, I thought I would provide an update of the fantastic opportunities available on the day.

This will be a great platform for Service Leavers, their families, the Reserve Forces and Veterans to access a wide range of opportunities, information and advice, whether they are looking for employment, training or franchise opportunities.

At the event individuals can receive free CV advice, and with 20 exhibitors including, Marshall Aerospace, Harrods, British Gas, Waitrose, BUPA Home Health, Booker and The Institute of Engineering & Technology, TeleCity Group, Bristol Management Centre, Chrysalis Care; to name a few.

You can then progress to the less formal side as the event moves to the Gascoigne Bar where you can network with the exhibitors, fellow Service Leavers, and also personnel that have made that transition who can give you an invaluable insight to “Civvy Street”, and grow your own crucial network.

There will also be many ex-military personnel that are in business, during the Networking phase to talk too as well.If you have a friend or colleague that could be interested in this event or what BFRS provide, please let them know or share the link to this discussion.
