Veterans Support

Our Commitment to Veterans

At KH Plant Training, our mission is to honour and empower those who have bravely served our country. As a veteran with over ten years of military service, Kieron Honeyman and the team of veterans at KH Plant Training totalling 75 years military service know firsthand the challenges that come with transitioning from the structured world of the armed forces to civilian life. The team’s determination to give back forms the heart of our veterans’ initiatives.

Many veterans leave the military with a wealth of knowledge, skills, discipline, and leadership experience—qualities that often go unrecognized in civilian job markets. Despite years of exemplary service, the lack of civilian-recognized qualifications can hinder career progression and fair compensation. We aim to help bridge that gap.

Veterans Day: Saluting the Past, Shaping the Future

Since 2021, our annual Veterans Day has been a cornerstone event. On this special day, we offer free testing specifically for veterans with experience in industry for certain items of plant, for some of the courses on offer that day experience is not required. It’s our way of thanking these brave men and women by:

  • Translating military expertise into accredited, civilian-recognised qualifications.
  • Enhancing career prospects by unlocking opportunities that truly reflect veterans’ capabilities.
  • Empowering veterans to confidently transition into new roles without starting over.
  • Bringing together ex-servicemen and women who serve as guest instructors, sharing their real-world experiences.
  • Honouring the sacrifices made by our service members with the recognition and opportunities they deserve.

Building a Supportive Community

Our commitment extends beyond the training room. As a company founded and run by military veterans, we ensure that our programs are enriched by firsthand military insight. This dedication has been acknowledged through our Silver Award in the Armed Forces Employment Recognition Scheme. Furthermore, we have partnered with local veteran charities such as MCVC and Help for Homeless Heroes to:

  • Fund initiatives and physical challenges — for example, the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge — that raise awareness and support veteran causes.
  • Foster a robust support network that continues to serve veterans long after their training is complete.

Every veteran’s story is one of sacrifice, resilience, and honour. At KH Plant Training, we are committed to transforming those stories into successful new chapters in civilian life. By recognising the value of military experience and helping veterans secure the qualifications they need, we’re not only thanking them for their service—we’re investing in their futures.
