Veterans, reservists, adult cadet volunteers and service family members play a vital role in many of our teams at Wood. Wood's Armed Forces Network, supported by ChamberForce are hosting this event to join forces with other companies and share Wood's experience of how to successfully engage and support the Armed Forces community.
