Sir Tony Baldry MP and Adrian Shooter (Chair of Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership and Chair of Bicester Vision) will be opening an event for businesses which has been jointly arranged between Oxfordshire County Council, Cherwell District Council, Bicester Vision and the Military 23 Pioneer Regiment.

The event will be held on Friday, 19 October at Bicester Garrison Officers’ Mess, Ambrosden, Bicester between 9.30am to 12pm followed by a buffet lunch.

Find out:

• How the Armed Forces’ ‘winning edge’ is derived primarily from the quality of their people
• How Service Leavers can offer that same edge to business and the most effective methods of targeting this rich vein of talent
• How Service Leavers are supported and prepared for civilian life
• How employers can link with support organisations to advertise vacancies and fill skills gaps
• How military skills can be translated into your business

There will also be a networking opportunity to talk to the supporting organisations and to meet army leavers looking to settle in Oxfordshire
