7:30 am: Chamber breakfast with the Dudley Reservists7:30 am: Chamber breakfast with the Dudley Reservists –
On Thursday 12 October the Black Country Chamber of Commerce is hosting a breakfast event with the Dudley Reservists. This will be taking place at the Royal Yeomanry, Dudley. The event will outline how army reserves can contribute to local businesses and the local community. The local Army Reserve Centre is the heart of life for local reservists. This is where soldiers work and train, although they will travel as they gain experience. Reservists give up their spare time to serve in the reserve forces, balancing their civilian life with a military career to ensure that should their country require them, they would be ready to serve as part of the military. They make up approximately one sixth of their armed forces personnel and as such are integral to protecting the nation’s security at home and overseas, particularly providing capability in specialist areas such as medical and cyber. The Army Reserve has two clearly defined roles. Firstly, it provides highly trained soldiers who can work alongside the regulars on missions in the UK and overseas. Secondly, it gives people who have specialist skills, like medics and engineers, a range of exciting opportunities to use them in new ways. Many employers engage with the Armed Forces reservists and take advantage of the unique talents of reservists who bring value and skills to the workforces of local companies. Rob Lummis, Head of Employee Experiences at Jaguar Land Rover, will talk about the JLR experience of working with reservists, and other companies will be present to share their involvement. The Army Reserve is the largest of the Reserve Forces, the others being the Royal Naval Reserve (RNR), the Royal Marines Reserve (RMR) and the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (RAFVR). Army reserve soldiers come from all walks of life and work part-time as soldiers for the British Army alongside full-time regular soldiers. See behind the scenes, talk to reservists, visit stands set up with a variety of interactive military equipment and weapons, all manned by reservists who will tell you of their trades that they cover whilst working within the Reservist, which complement their own civilian employment. Venue: The Royal Yeomanry, Alamein House, Vicar Street, Dudley, DY2 8RH Free to attend for Chamber members & non-members If you would like to attend, you can follow this link to register.
