Collins Seafoods, a proud signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant, is deepening its commitment to veterans and their families. The covenant, a national pledge to treat those who have served the country with fairness and respect, inspired Collins Seafoods to explore local facilities supporting veterans. This led to the discovery of the remarkable Veterans Community and Enterprise Centre (Newton Aycliffe) CIC.
Jill Saint, Transport and Operations Manager at Collins Seafoods and a Royal Navy veteran (1991–2001), alongside Elaine Armstrong, Sales and Marketing Executive, recently visited the centre located on the Newton Aycliffe Business Park. The Veterans Community and Enterprise Centre provides a welcoming space for veterans to access qualified support and engage in activities promoting health and well-being.
