Careers for the Armed Forces Community. Thank you Plymouth

19/06/2026

Thank You, Plymouth

Yesterday we welcomed the Armed Forces Community, employers, training providers and support organisations to our Plymouth Armed Forces Community Careers Fair.

Whilst Plymouth may be one of our smaller events in terms of numbers, it continues to be one of our favourites.

What makes Plymouth special isn't simply the footfall. It's the quality of the conversations, the time people have to explore opportunities properly, and the genuine connections that are created throughout the day. There is a relaxed atmosphere that allows attendees to engage in meaningful discussions with employers, training providers and support organisations, often leading to opportunities that might otherwise be missed.

A huge thank you to every member of the Armed Forces Community who attended, whether you are still serving, a service leaver, veteran, reservist or family member. Taking the time to invest in your future is never wasted.

Thank you also to our exhibitors, sponsors, partners and the BFRS team who travelled down and worked hard to make the event possible. Your continued commitment to supporting the Armed Forces Community is what makes these events successful.

The photos capture exactly what BFRS is about - real conversations, real opportunities, real support and real outcomes.

Now we look ahead to our next event: https://bfrss.org.uk/events/1406155/
