NKDC received the silver award from the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme in November 2025. With strong links to RAF Cranwell, Digby and Waddington, and more than 10% of local residents being military service leavers, many businesses in the District employ veterans or armed forces families.
By signing the Armed Forces Covenant, businesses and charities can show their support and commit to fair treatment for those who serve and their families. It is also the first step towards earning a Defence Employer Recognition Scheme award.
