Founder of Hire a HeroKaren Chadwick, Chief Executive of Apex Health + Social Care
“Here are all these brave, disciplined young men and women risking their lives for our country, but when they leave the armed forces no one seems to want them. This is wrong.”

“In my experience ex-forces personnel make fantastic employees. They are reliable, work well in teams, are very adaptable and easy to re-train. The government should be doing more to help, but they don’t seem to care so now I’m calling the business community to do its bit.”

“I would like to say thank you to Karen and her team. After 18 months of low self esteem I can honestly say that I
can now see light at the end of the tunnel. I really do hope that this campaign brings to the very
forefront the skills, life and work experience that ex-Service personnel have to offer civilian employers.”

“Since leaving the Army in 2001 I found it very hard to get employment especially being disabled. On my
mission to find work I found that the support advised wasn't really there. Finding Hire a Hero some 9 yrs
after shows that progress is happening.”
