Darren Thompson, Ainscough’s HR director said: "Over the years we've created an environment that allows ex-military personnel to forge rewarding careers with great opportunities for progression. The transition from serving to being in the civilian workforce can be difficult, but we're proud of how our company both develops the transferable skills individuals have gained in the army and supplements it with the talents needed in the world of crane hire."
Colonel Mark Underhill, chief executive of the Isle of Man Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Association added: "On behalf of the Ministry of Defence we are honoured and delighted to be able to recognise the outstanding support and commitment from businesses and organisations in the region. Each recipient has demonstrated that they are prepared to support reservists, service leavers, spouses, veterans, cadet force adult volunteers and cadets in the workplace."
Ainscough runs around 400 cranes from 30 depots across the UK with around 900 employees.
