On Monday 24th February 2025, Tallis Amos Group (TAG) reaffirmed its commitment to supporting veterans through their transition into civilian employment with the signing of the Military Covenant by Richard Allard, group service manager of TAG, at the Mission Motorsport event at Silverstone Circuit.

By signing the Military Covenant Tallis Amos Group joins a network of UK business actively championing veterans, offering a commitment of fair opportunity to service leavers and recognising the wealth and talent they bring to the workforce. This partnership builds on the work done to support service leavers by fellow signatory John Deere Ltd through their Military Hire Program (MHP). 

First set up in 2023, the Military Hire Program provides a structured pathway before, during and after resettlement for service leavers to join the John Deere UK & Ireland dealer network. John Deere Ltd and Tallis Amos Group say they have been instrumental in providing skills-based training to a large number of veterans in addition to providing a UK support network and offering employment opportunities within the UK&I dealer network. 

Managing director Ben Tallis said, “Tallis Amos Group are proud to support our Armed Forces and veterans. As a business we are delighted to help service leavers as they transition from the armed forces to civilian life. They arrive with us having received system specific training in our machinery and have consistently proven themselves to be some of our most dedicated and talented team members. Their commitment and professionalism are demonstrated time and time again.”

Martin Frodsham a Military Hire Program graduate and Tallis Amos employee shared his perspective on the program, saying, “Being one of the first to graduate from the JDMHP in the UK and employment with TAG, I thank TAG for being the first to enterprise veterans into agricultural engineering. John Deere has given us the tools and opportunity self-motivated veterans needed to make a mark on this industry, thank you for all your support.”
