Aston Martin signs Armed Forces Covenant to support veterans and military families

Aston Martin has pledged its support to the UK Armed Forces community by signing the Armed Forces Covenant, reinforcing its commitment to veterans, reservists, and military families as part of its broader equity, diversity and inclusion strategy.

The signing ceremony took place on 28th April at the company’s headquarters in Gaydon, led by Aston Martin chief executive officer Adrian Hallmark and Major General Dan Reeve MC GOC 1 Division.

They were joined by Armed Forces veterans and reservists employed across the business.

The Armed Forces Covenant is a national promise to ensure those who serve or have served in the military – and their families – are treated with fairness and respect in society.

By signing the Covenant, Aston Martin has committed to being an Armed Forces-friendly employer and to supporting those transitioning from military to civilian careers.

Adrian Hallmark, CEO of Aston Martin, said: “We’re incredibly proud to sign the Armed Forces Covenant. At Aston Martin, we recognise the outstanding value that veterans, reservists and military families bring to our business – from technical expertise to a strong sense of teamwork and leadership.

“This pledge is a meaningful step in ensuring we create a supportive, inclusive environment where every colleague can thrive.”

Major General Dan Reeve added: “We are pleased to welcome Aston Martin Lagonda as a signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant.
