“We proudly employ veterans across our organisation, acknowledging the unique skills and experience they bring to work every day,” said Nick Chaffey, chief executive UK, Europe and Middle East, Northrop Grumman. “Signing the Armed Forces Covenant is another example of our enduring pledge to support the UK military, its personel and those who have served.”
