Sunbelt Rentals Joins Forces with Project RECCE to Support Veterans

Sunbelt Rentals, a leading equipment rental solutions provider, has taken a significant step in supporting the UK's military veteran community by joining the Project RECCE Employment Rendezvous (ERV) digital platform. This innovative partnership marks a new chapter in veteran employment support within the construction and equipment rental sector.

Led by Ryan-Luke Jackson and Jimmy Scott, the Sunbelt team has embraced Project RECCE's mission to support veterans transitioning into civilian careers. The collaboration builds upon Sunbelt Rentals' commitment to creating sustainable career pathways and aligns perfectly with their core values of being Safe, Responsible, Innovative, Action-oriented, Expert, and Team-focused.

"Our partnership with Project RECCE represents a natural alignment of values and objectives," says Ryan-Luke Jackson. "At Sunbelt Rentals, we understand the invaluable skills and experience that veterans bring to our industry. Through the ERV platform, we can now better connect with this exceptional talent pool."

The ERV digital platform, developed by Project RECCE, serves as a vital bridge between veterans and civilian employment opportunities. Sunbelt Rentals' participation adds significant value to the platform, offering veterans access to roles across their network of over 200 locations throughout the UK.

Jimmy Scott emphasises the practical benefits of the partnership: "We're not just offering jobs; we're creating career pathways. Our nationwide presence and diverse range of specialities provide veterans with opportunities to leverage their military experience while developing new skills in a supportive environment."

The collaboration will focus on three key areas:
* Career development and upskilling opportunities
* Mentorship programmes connecting veterans with industry experts
* Building a supportive network for sustainable career transitions

As one of the UK's largest equipment rental companies, Sunbelt Rentals' involvement in the RECCE Community demonstrates their commitment to veteran employment and sets a strong example for industry engagement with the ex-military community.

This partnership represents another significant milestone for Project RECCE in its mission to support veterans' transition into civilian careers, particularly within the construction and related industries.
