AWE has been given the Armed Forces Covenant Gold Award.
This is the highest honour in the Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme.
It recognises AWE's active support of military veterans, reservists, and cadets, as well as future opportunities for those currently serving.
Nick Elliott, an armed forces veteran and AWE's CEO, said: "AWE are proud signatories of the Armed Forces Covenant, so I am delighted that we have been awarded the Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award.
"As a veteran myself, I fully recognise the contribution our Armed Forces personnel make to AWE and the UK’s wider nuclear endeavours.
"We fully support our 500-strong community of veterans, reservists and cadet volunteers and are committed to the spirit and principles of the covenant."
AWE signed the Armed Forces Covenant in 2022 and received the Employer Recognition Scheme Silver Award in 2023.
