A great start to the year supporting the Armed Forces community Our team has had a fantastic start to the year attending the Newcastle and Lincoln CTP events, where we promoted M Group’s career opportunities for Armed Forces veterans transitioning into civilian life. The Career Transition Partnership (CTP) is the Ministry of Defence’s official resettlement service, designed to support Service leavers as they prepare for life after the Armed Forces. It brings together employers, training providers and expert guidance to help individuals move confidently into civilian careers, making it a great opportunity for us to connect with talented people and share what M Group has to offer. We were also pleased to showcase our new merchandise, which helped spark great conversations and raise awareness of our offering. At M Group, we recognise the invaluable skills, experience and values that Armed Forces personnel bring. As a proud Armed Forces Covenant Gold Award holder, we’re committed to engaging with the Armed Forces community and promoting meaningful career opportunities across our organisation. We’re in Maidstone today, and heading to Edinburgh next week, and can't wait to meeting more people, have great conversations and continue to share our amazing opportunities.

Our Talent Acquisition team recently had the pleasure of attending RecFest, the UK’s largest talent acquisition festival, and what a day it was! This marks M Group’s first time at the event, and it proved to be an insightful and energising experience for the whole team. We explored innovative exhibitor stands, gaining fresh perspectives on the future of talent acquisition, especially the evolving role of AI in identifying and engaging talent. We also attended powerful talks on neurodiversity in the workplace, which left us inspired and motivated to continue building inclusive hiring practices. As a hybrid team spread across the UK, RecFest was a rare and valuable opportunity for us to come together in person, strengthen our connections, and share ideas face-to-face.
