Oxford Sigma is proud to celebrate the 2024 Armed Forces Day through this publication. Oxford Sigma is proud to have signed the United Kingdom Armed Forces Covenant on 09 April 2021 and became bronze members of the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) on 26 April 2023. This ERS encourages employers to support defence and inspire others to do the same. The scheme encompasses bronze, silver and gold awards for employer organisations that pledge, demonstrate or advocate support to defence and the armed forces community, and align their values with the Armed Forces Covenant. It is a company goal to reach the ERS, silver level in to help mature the company’s armed forces related values and provide additional support to the armed forces. This applies to current and future employees who are veterans, serving members of the armed forces (regular and reserve), cadet force adult volunteers, spouses of serving members and members of international (non-UK) reserve units such as the United States National Guard.
The defence industry is an industry which has been identified as an industry with relevance for Oxford Sigma’s skillset. As a result, the company was successful in its submission for a role in the prestigious £1 billion UK Ministry of Defence Hypersonic Technologies & Capability Development Framework (HTCDF). This framework, a significant step in the UK’s development of a sovereign hypersonic strike capability, brings together over 90 leading organisations from industry and academia to support the rapid development of advanced hypersonic missile systems. It is a company goal to increase defence engagement to improve company capabilities further and involvement in additional defence engineering frameworks is underway.
“We are proud to show our support for the UK Armed Forces and thank them for their efforts to contribute to the UK’s strengthening national defence.”
