Armed Forces Covenant

Let's talk about the Armed Forces Covenant!

The Covenant is a voluntary pledge or promise to support and treat fairly those within the Armed Forces community. Parkdean Resorts already have a number of service veterans working on their 66 locations across the UK.

Gold Award

Parkdean Resorts have gained a Gold Award in the MOD’s Employer Recognition Awards Scheme, in recognition of their support to the Armed Forces. 

We offer Reservists an additional  10 days leave and have supportive HR policies in place for veterans, Reserves, and Cadet Force Adult Volunteers, as well as spouses and partners of those serving in the Armed Forces. We proactively aim to put the Armed Forces community at the forefront of our recruitment activities, and have worked closely with Armed Forces charities to offer 145 free holiday breaks to Royal Navy members and Royal Marines in 2021. 

Admiral Tony Radakin, CB ADC, first sea lord and chief of naval group, said: "Our people and their families often make significant sacrifices in the service of our country, and it's fantastic we can recognise this by awarding holidays that help families re-connect and relax together."



Commenting on the announcement of the 2023 Employer Recognition Scheme Gold awards, Steve Richards, CEO of Parkdean Resorts, said:


“Attracting ex Armed Forces personnel to join our teams and thanking them and their families for their service is one of our key people commitments, so we are immensely proud to be receiving this Gold certification from the Defense Employer Recognition Scheme. We have huge respect for the work our military forces do and the sacrifices they make, so we’re delighted to be able to give back to them through our forces-friendly recruitment, training opportunities and charitable endeavors.”
