Marshalls supports Building Heroes aid military careers
Marshalls plc has become a Silver Sponsoring Partner of charity Building Heroes to support programmes that help members of the Armed Forces community move into civilian roles across the construction and built environment sectors.
The upgraded collaboration links industry demand for trained workers with structured pathways for service leaders, veterans, reservists and military families entering employment after service.
The programme will also involve localised fundraising activities, while the partnership expands Marshalls’ social impact and charity work.
Chris Charles, chief executive of Building Heroes Education Foundation says “every person leaving the military deserves confidence about what comes next.
Marshalls’ decision to partner with Building Heroes shows a shared belief that potential should never be lost simply because someone is changing career. Their support helps us give people direction, skills and opportunity at a pivotal moment in life, changing futures for individuals, families and communities. We are grateful for their support and look forward to working together to make a real difference over the coming year.”
Recent Building Heroes graduates include former military engineers, logisticians and technicians who have progressed into roles such as site supervisors, tradespeople and property maintenance operatives following training.
