Delighted to speak with members of the Royal Canadian Navy and Air Force on board HMCS Ville de Quebec which visited Glasgow as the flagship of Standing NATO Maritime Group 1.

It was an honour to meet the commander of SNMG1, Commodore Maryla Ingham RN pictured here with women Naval veterans.

A valuable meeting with 51 Brigade’s SO2 Welfare at Redford Barracks yesterday, discussing the challenges faced by Service Leavers and their families, particularly around health, employment and housing.

A key takeaway was the importance of Service Leavers accessing the support, briefings and information available to them, and ensuring that the advice provided reflects the realities of settling in Scotland. Access to the right information at the right time can make a real difference to a successful transition.

I'm delighted to feature on the latest episode of ‘From Combat Boots to Business Suits’, where I discuss my journey from military service and medical discharge to becoming Scotland's Veterans Commissioner. We explore the opportunities and challenges faced by veterans, the importance of supporting successful transition, and why employers should recognise the valuable skills and experience the ex-military community brings to the workforce. 

If you're a veteran, service leaver, employer, or simply interested in supporting the Armed Forces community, I'd encourage you to have a listen.
