Forth Ports has strengthened its support for serving personnel, reservists, veterans, and military families by formally signing the Armed Forces Covenant.

The Armed Forces‑friendly employer has pledged a comprehensive package of support. This includes recognising military skills in recruitment, championing veteran employment, providing flexibility for service spouses and partners, and supporting employees who serve as reservists or cadet force volunteers. The organisation also backs national Armed Forces events and charities.

Stuart MacGregor, Chief Financial Officer at Forth Ports, signed the Covenant alongside Michelle Primrose, Chief People Officer and Lieutenant Commander Chris Hawkins aboard HMS Elizabeth in Rosyth.

Stuart said: “In signing the Armed Forces Covenant, we are reaffirming our ongoing commitment to support the Armed Forces community, recognising the value serving personnel, both regular and reservists, veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

“Forth Ports has a strong track record of welcoming those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces and their families into roles across Scotland and Tilbury, and through our partnership with the Attention to Logistics programme* we have seen first‑hand the significant contribution they bring to our organisation.

“We are proud to be a forces‑friendly employer and remain committed to supporting the Armed Forces community who work with us now and in the future.

We recognise the exceptional skills, experience, and dedication they offer, and many arrive already equipped with the capabilities we seek to recruit within the ports industry.”
