Prince Charles has urged businesses to make “fortune favour the brave” by helping hero soldiers into work.
At the Business in the Community Responsible Business Awards Gala Dinner, which saw 1,400 top business people in attendance, HRH The Prince of Wales said, “It is easy to remember the bravery of our service men and women, and to understand how much they can offer to prospective employers in civilian life.
"Loyalty, integrity, teamwork and the ability to work calmly and with discipline and good humour under intense pressure are qualities that any business must surely value highly. But the transition is by no means easy, and we should not pretend it is, even for the able-bodied. For those who have been injured, of course, the difficulties are greater still.”
Dr Ralf Speth, CEO Jaguar Land Rover, also spoke at the event, expressing his pride in Jaguar Land Rover's position as supporting partner for the Invictus Games and revealing that Jaguar Land Rover will be extending its training programme for Service leavers.
