Siemens Healthineers commits to continued support for UK service personnel

Siemens Healthineers has signed the Armed Forces Covenant, which formalises support for service personnel in the UK and emphasises the value that serving members, reservists, veterans and their families bring to business and the country. The signing was celebrated aboard HMS Victory in Portsmouth by serving personnel and team members from Siemens Healthineers.

With one in four UK-based service engineers at Siemens Healthineers having previously served, the company values the transferable skills and qualifications of these personnel.

Lieutenant Commander Royal Navy BJ Smith, Commanding Officer HMS Victory, said: “This important step recognises, supports and encourages armed forces employees within the company, enabling them to thrive in the workplace while also continuing to support safety and security in the UK.”

Siemens Healthineers Sudbury managing director Ali Burns said: “As a reservist myself, I understand the importance in formalising the historical support Siemens Healthineers has provided for the armed forces in the UK.”
