The Armed Forces Network at Tesco

As a business, we’ve had a long-standing association with the Armed Forces ever since our founder, Jack Cohen started Tesco back in 1919 after leaving the Royal Flying Corps at the end of the First World War.

Almost one per cent of all veterans leaving the Army join Tesco, and as the UK’s biggest private sector employer, we want to do everything we can to support our Armed Forces colleagues so that our business continues to be a place where everybody’s welcome and anyone can get on.We know moving into a civilian career can be as challenging as it is an opportunity, and we support ex-military personnel, providing many ways to aid their transition.

We are proud of our internal Armed Forces Network, and our priorities are: 
• Supporting service leavers
• Providing access to Tesco as an example of what service leavers can expect from a civilian employer
• Supporting former military colleagues with transition from military life
• Supporting colleagues with family in the Armed Forces
• Supporting colleagues who are Reservists
