To mark the beginning of Armed Forces Week 2022, Landmarc Support Services (Landmarc) and the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) showed their support and thanks to service personnel by raising the Armed Forces Day flag at Castlemartin Training Area in Pembrokeshire.

The raising of the flag is an annual event witnessed by both Armed Forces personnel and civilians across the UK. This year, which also marks the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and the 40th Anniversary of the liberation of the Falkland Islands, Landmarc and DIO want to extend an extra-special thank you to veterans, full-time and reservist troops, and their families, by flying the official Armed Forces Day flag at military training estates across the UK, including local camp, Castlemartin Training Area.

Landmarc employees, Armed Forces personnel and staff from DIO joined together to witness the raising of the flag, where it will fly proudly until Armed Forces Week comes to a close on Sunday.

Last Armed Forces Day, Landmarc pledged its sponsorship of Team Emotive in its mission to complete one of the world’s most difficult ocean rowing challenges – the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge – all in the name of raising money for mental health charity, Veterans at Ease.

Made up of four Armed Forces veterans, including one Landmarc employee, Team Emotive is preparing to travel 3,000 miles from La Gomera in the Canary Islands to Antigua. Rowing two hours on, two hours off for forty days, this challenge will push the team to its limits both physically and mentally.

With just six months to go until Team Emotive sets sail on their challenge, this year Landmarc continues its support, helping the team to raise money and boost their profile at this year’s Armed Forces Day National Event in Scarborough, where the team and their boat will be exhibiting tomorrow (Saturday).

Mark Neill, Managing Director at Landmarc, comments: “We raise the Armed Forces Day Flag each and every year on our sites across the UK, a tradition we’re very proud of.”
