Veterans support

Supporting the transition from military life

We recognise the invaluable experience and skillsets that ex-armed forces personnel can bring to a defence business that is committed to making a safer world. Currently more than 30% of our workforce is made up of veterans and their contribution is indispensable both to us and our clients.

Within TP Group we have a Veterans' Community of Interest Group which is run by, and for the benefit of, our colleagues from the armed forces. This Group provides a point of contact for new joiners and an on-going source of support and advice; it is a vital part of our on-boarding process in which ex veterans feel valued and supported making the transition into civilian life as seamless as possible.

If you are considering your next steps after a career in the military we have a range of opportunities which are perfectly suited to your experiences and skills.

Joining TP Group will enable you to work alongside other colleagues who are ex-military personnel and who have made the transition before you. They will support, mentor and advise you, helping to alleviate any worries you may have and give you the confidence you are on the right career path.

Our continual training programme means that your skills will develop alongside your new role.

Many of our senior leaders are from the armed forces, here is what they have to say about supporting those making the transition into civilian life:

“In 2012, after 30 years in uniform, I faced the scary proposition of a career change, and transitioning out of uniform into industry. It proved surprisingly smooth. What struck me was how life in the armed forces had prepared me to adapt to a new set of circumstances, and how willing industry was to work with my existing experience and skills sets and invest in turning me into an effective consultant and industry leader. People in uniform have a wealth of experience and transferable skills which are ideally suited to consultancy. Having made the transition into a civilian role myself I feel TP Group offers an environment which is especially supportive for those making the move from the armed forces.”

Chris Cullis

Client Director - Formal Royal Marine
“During my time in the Royal Navy I both lived and worked in ships and submarines before entering civilian life. It can be difficult to comprehend the extreme demands of the maritime environment if you have not served at sea, but the unique skills developed are very relevant and transferable when pursuing a civilian career. TP Group has a large community of ex-Armed Forces personnel, so they not only understand and support the journey of those transitioning but they also value what they bring to the organisation."

James Dunne

Delivery Director (Maritime) Former-Royal Navy

An exciting aspect has been embracing the digital transition and exploring new ways of working.Continue to read.
