January 2025

It’s been a fantastic start to the year for the Foundation as we announce our newest partner VTA Recruitment. Owned and headed up by Louis Green, who works closely alongside Operations Manager Tom Wilson, the boys met Andy at the Armed Forces Covenant Silver Awards. They have become firm supporters of the Foundation since then and we are really excited to have them onboard.

VTA Recruitment is an independent transport and logistics-based recruitment agency. They have divisions in Driving, Industrial, Manufacturing and White-collar recruitment. They offer tailored support and solutions to both local and national businesses,  Their mission is to create pathways that connect service leavers, ex-military, reservists, and the wider community to opportunities in transport, logistics, and white-collar careers. They place clients, candidates and the veteran community at the heart of everything they do.

Louis Green said:

“VTA Recruitment has become a proud partner of “Standing Tall Foundation” we take pride in our partnerships with ex-military charitable organisations and following our first encounter with Andy at the Silver armed forces covenant award’s in 2023 and throughout 2024, we have become friends of the foundation attending the fantastic events they hold becoming more involved in the foundation and seeing the work they do tirelessly to help those in need. Andy is a true inspiration and a pillar for the veteran community and for everyone who reaches out for help. Knowing VTA’s contribution will help their work continue is something we are delighted to be a part of.”

Our Co-Founder Andy Reid MBE had this to say:

“Having a company like VTA Recruitment onboard is such an asset to the Foundation. We are always looking of ways to work more effectively and collaborate with others to help support the Veteran community. Partnering with these guys means we can offer more routes into employment for the Veterans we currently see for Mental Health and Wellbeing issues. We look forward to the year ahead and working alongside them.”

We are delighted to welcome Money & Me Solicitors as our latest Affiliate Partners of the Standing Tall Foundation.

Our relationship with them has quickly developed over the last year and we are now official! Our Co-Founder Andy has also become their Armed Forces Ambassador and supports them with the fantastic work they do for Veterans.

Money & Me are an established law firm based in Warrington, dealing with a wide range of mis-sold financial products claims. In particular, they work with the Armed Forces to seek financial justice for any veterans who have been given wrong advice surrounding their pensions.

They have continued to support the STF in various ways, including providing advice at our recently launched Ex-Services group on a Friday, as well as donating 4  brand new TV’s for our HMO for Veterans. Most recently, they have wrapped and donated a large number of gifts for our Xmas Toy Appeal.

It’s brilliant to have you onboard and we look forward to working together more in the future!
