Savills receives gold status for commitment to Armed Forces community

The international real estate advisor has achieved Gold status as part of the MoD's Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS).

The ERS recognises employers that pledge, demonstrate or advocate support for the Armed Forces community and align their values with the Armed Forces Covenant.

Savills is a long-time supporter of the Armed Forces Covenant and was awarded Silver status in 2024.

The most recent recognition further demonstrates the company's commitment to the Armed Forces community and those looking to build meaningful civilian careers - with clear service-friendly policies in place for recruitment and professional development as well as ongoing support for those who continue to serve in the reserves.

Savills UK Managing Director Richard Rees said: "Savills applied for the Gold level Employee Recognition Scheme to demonstrate the strength of our commitment to the Armed Forces community.

"We have an exceptional employee offer, and our business provides a strong cultural fit for those with a background in the Armed Forces.

"We aim to be an example within our sector, advocating for the Armed Forces community to other businesses, suppliers and clients and the recognition that we are achieving this is very welcome."

Earlier this month Savills was also named as one of the UK's Top 50 Employers of Veterans 2025 by the GREAT British Employers of Veterans programme.

The annual publication is the leading benchmark of companies employing veterans and other members of the UK's military community, providing an in-depth guide for veterans, reservists and their families.
