Semper Security UK Ltd
We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.
The Armed Forces Covenant
An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families
The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.
Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.
This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.
Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant
1.1 We Semper Security UK Ltd will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment
2.1 Semper Security UK Ltd recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- UK Reservists
We also pledge the following:
Semper Security UK Ltd actively supports the Armed Forces community by recognising the valuable skills, discipline, and experience service personnel bring. We publicly demonstrate our support via our website, social media platforms, and company materials, encouraging a wider understanding and appreciation of the Armed Forces and their families. We are proud to offer a guaranteed interview scheme for veterans who meet the minimum role criteria, and we will continue to explore partnerships with organisations supporting service leavers and their families. We also commit to providing internal training for staff to raise awareness of the challenges faced by veterans and service families, helping build a more understanding and supportive workplace. At Semper Security UK Ltd, our identity is grounded in remembrance, loyalty, and unwavering duty principles shared deeply by both our directors, whose personal histories and values have shaped the foundation of our company. These guiding beliefs not only inform how we operate but also align closely with the ethos of the Armed Forces community. The name Semper, Latin for Always, represents more than just a brand ,it is our enduring promise: To be always faithful, always secure, and always present in our employment of protecting people, property and events. The name Semper holds deep personal meaning for both directors. It pays tribute to the grandfather of one a decorated World War II veteran whose service in the Dorset Regiment helped lay the moral groundwork on which our business was built. At the same time, it symbolises the enduring presence of loved ones lost by both directors, whose lives, values, and memory gave us the purpose and drive to continue their spirit of guardianship in the work we do today. Their legacy of discipline, compassion, and strength lives on through our operations guiding us to protect others not only with professionalism, but with heart. Our logo features a guardian angel, representing both protection and remembrance. This emblem was chosen with heartfelt intent as a tribute to the deceased loved ones of both directors, who heartbreakingly passed away on calendar dates marked by 222. This spiritually significant number symbolises alignment, eternal connection, and purpose. For one director, Semper is a tribute to military service and honour. For the other, it means always present ,a deeply personal reflection of lasting spiritual closeness and guidance. The angel is not merely a design, it is a daily reminder of the legacy we honour, the responsibility we uphold, and the duty of care we provide to every client, venue, and individual we safeguard. At Semper Security UK Ltd, we do more than provide security. We fulfil a mission born from legacy, guided by loyalty, and delivered with heart.
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
