DeterTech signs Armed Forces Covenant

The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise from the nation that those who serve (or have served) and their families are treated fairly. It focuses on ensuring members of the Armed Forces community have the same access and opportunities as any other citizen, including when it comes to employment, housing and healthcare.

A significant proportion of the current DeterTech workforce has previously served in the military and/or civilian policing. This has equipped them with valuable transferable skills such as leadership, resilience, problem-solving and teamwork that support and enrich the DeterTech culture.

Laura Rich (specialist HR advisor at DeterTech) stated: “Signing the Armed Forces Commitment is one of the many ways in which we show our dedication to delivering greater peace of mind for people and communities every day. The dedication, resilience and unique skills of those who serve – or have served – in the Armed Forces align closely with our values of being committed, inclusive and ambitious. We’re honoured to support the Armed Forces community and create a workplace wherein contributions from that community are recognised and valued.”

Living the values

Mark Fitzpatrick, director of Group operations at DeterTech (and a former serving member of the Armed Forces) explained: “DeterTech doesn’t just talk about values. We live them. Having served myself, I know just how important it is to feel supported when transitioning towards civilian life. As someone who has gone on to bring other members of the Armed Forces community into the business, I’m also aware just what an asset they are to ourselves and our customers.”

Looking ahead, DeterTech is reviewing its internal policies and aiming for the Silver Award, further strengthening its commitment to those who serve.

The DeterTech portfolio spans crime intelligence, site security, forensic marking, access control and sensor technologies. The company builds bespoke security solutions for each customer based on the specific risks present in their environment, thereby bringing greater peace of mind for people, businesses and communities.

Founded in 1993 and with operations across the UK and Europe, DeterTech mitigates the disruption and cost impact of thefts for clients operating nationally in sectors including infrastructure, construction and vacant property.
