About our team

I like the way at BFBS I get to interact with the military helping support a service that provides a morale boost; it’s fulfilling. The variety is large and I have definitely benefitted from the skills that force you to develop. Things are always changing, and I like that. When I’m in the office I feel lucky to be working on a site that’s so green with lots of woodland, a tennis court and parking.

BFBS clearly cares about the welfare of its employees, with recent developments including the introduction of dedicated staff networks focusing on diversity, inclusion and wellbeing. There’s access to an Employee Assistance Programme, which offers advice and support on a range of physical and mental health issues, and there are regular events (online during COVID, in-person before that) to encourage wellness in all its forms. BFBS has really shown itself to be a compassionate and caring employer during the pandemic.

I have been working for BFBS for over three years. It is a fantastic place to work with very talented and supportive colleagues. What truly makes it an amazing company to work for is the audience. 

Working for BFBS has been one big adventure. I have travelled the world, met some extraordinary people and even driven a fire engine in Afghanistan! BFBS is like one big family. Definitely quirky, completely unique and full of brilliant, talented people who really care about each other and the military audience they support through their work.

I’m really enjoying working at BFBS. When I started in July 2019, I had one sole job responsibility as I was learning the ropes, however now I have taken on even more responsibilities which I am enjoying. In turn, they have helped me to develop my skills, especially with social media which I’m very happy about. BFBS has proved to be a great place for young people, especially those graduating from University or College, to start their career, embrace different challenges, and develop their skills.

You can have it all! Before joining BFBS I was really struggling to find a position where I could balance my professional goals and being there for my children. BFBS offered me the opportunity to work part-time and is very supportive of the challenges of working mums. I don’t have to choose between my career and my family.

BFBS has given me the opportunity to learn and develop new skills after making a career change into the Events Industry. It gives me the chance to travel all over the UK and the world, all while supporting the amazing work of the British Armed Forces.

My favourite thing about working for BFBS is the people and just how much each one of them cares. From my very first day I felt welcomed, not just throughout my department, but from anyone and everyone that I encountered in the company.

I love how everyone works as a team - well, as a family really - regardless of their job role or department, they all care passionately about what they do and who they are doing it for. I have experienced outstanding support, understanding and patience from my colleagues, nothing is ever too much trouble and corners are never cut. Work ethics like this are extremely rare.

I work for a company that I am very proud of, one that offers care and support, and one that makes me love what I do, one that makes me excited to get up and go to work and give the very best I can. After all, that’s what they give me.
