Our Proud Military Heritage
At AACE, we are proud of our strong military heritage and the values it instils:
Integrity, discipline, and a commitment to service.
Our culture is deeply rooted in supporting those who serve and have served.
We actively welcome service leavers and their families, offering tailored support to help them transition into civilian careers.
We also champion our Reservists, recognising the vital role they play and providing the flexibility and understanding they need to balance their dual commitments.
As holders of the Armed Forces Covenant Silver Award, we are honoured to stand by the Armed Forces community and remain dedicated to upholding the principles of fairness, respect, and opportunity for all who serve.
This includes offering fair opportunities in recruitment, supporting Reservists with additional leave for training, and fostering a workplace culture that values the unique skills and experiences of military personnel.


“I joined AACE almost fresh from my RAF career, although daunting at first, the company put me at ease with trust, support and encouragement.
Since those early days, AACE afforded me numerous opportunities which I doubt would’ve been offered from other companies.
I have thoroughly enjoyed working for and with AACE, formed long lasting friends and great memories. It’s been a real pleasure and honour to represent AACE, and its family”
