Ex Military Jobs - The Career Transition Partnership and Würth UK
The resettlement of ex servicemen into civilian life is an important issue. There has been a lot of talk about the lack of help for military personnel trying to adjust back into society after often lengthy periods of time on duty. The UK Government currently doesn’t have any scheme or initiative for helping those who have fought for queen and country, that’s why it’s great to see a number of organisations, businesses and charities which have been set up to ease this transition. The Career Transition Partnership is one of them!
The Career Transition Partnership (CTP) is the official provider of Armed Forces resettlement and offers free resettlement services to military personnel. From two years before discharge through to two years after, the CTP helps to correctly market them to potential employers.
At Würth we are always on the search to build up our sales force with hard working product specialists and the skills which many military personnel learn on duty are invaluable to us. Mechanics, drivers, engineers etc all have a head start when joining Würth because they background knowledge on the products which we sell and their applications. So, on 6th November our recruitment representatives set up a stand at the CTP South East employment fair at Kempton Park Racecourse. Our guys had a great day and found some really good prospective employees to join our team!

Inking About Africa
Inking About Africa is a charity scheme which has been set up to help support schools and children in the Gambia. Its focus is on collecting and recycling old or used print cartridges to be sold on, which raises valuable funds to help children afford equipment such as pens/ pencils and uniforms.
Last week we sent around 60 laser jet cartridges and 200 flat pack boxes which were sent out in collections from Money Pipe (a shipping service to the Gambia). We also donated various other items which could be of use over in West Africa; apparently the parcel strapping band works really well at fastening crops together...
Jeff from our warehouse and his partner Julie have been contributing to the scheme for a little while now. They have not only donated to Inking About Africa but have also helped out in other projects for the Gambia, they have even travelled over to Africa to personally get involved. Jeff brought Inking About Africa to our attention and as we naturally go through a fair few cartridges per year (which would otherwise go to waste) it’s with great pleasure that we have begun to donate.
