Council receives Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award at ceremony

South Ayrshire Provost Iain Campbell and South Ayrshire Council's Director of Communities and Transformation, Jane Bradley, attended an awards ceremony at Edinburgh castle for the Lowland Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Association Employer Recognition Scheme.

South Ayrshire Council was awarded the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Gold Award.

The ERS recognises employer organisations that pledge, demonstrate, or advocate support to Defence and the Armed Forces community, and who have signed the Armed Forces Covenant, a commitment to supporting Defence through services, policy, and projects.

The Gold Award is the highest accolade available to organisations that employ and support Reservists, service leavers, Cadet Force Adult Volunteers, and their families.
