Tyne Gangway sign the Armed Forces Covenant

Tyne Gangway (Structures) Limited is proud to have signed the Armed Forces Covenant, which supports those who protect our nation, veterans, and their families.

The covenant is a pledge that together we acknowledge and understand those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families; that they should be treated with fairness and respect in the communities, economy, and society they serve with their lives.

It focuses on helping members of the armed forces community have the same support as any other citizen, spanning education, housing, starting a career, access to healthcare, financial assistance, and more.

Several of our employees have UK Armed Forces affiliations, including myself, whose husband is a former field and staff officer. We see the contribution of our Armed Forces in their worldwide deployments, but during the Crisis, we have also seen their contribution to our daily lives – driving ambulances, administering tests, constructing temporary hospitals, etc. Tyne Gangway supports and implements the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant – serving our Armed Forces as they serve us.

Allan Hills, Tyne Gangway’s Storeman & Logistics Co-ordinator said: “As a veteran, it’s good working for a business that supports servicemen and their families”.

Tyne Gangway’s Apprentices Succeed

Alex Tibbs “I feel blessed that I have been given the opportunity to complete my apprenticeship in fabrication and welding at Tyne Gangway. I am looking forward to progressing my career”.

Richard Herron, our Quality, Health & Safety Manager, said “all three apprentices have put in maximum effort and hard work during their apprenticeship linked to TDR Training, and they are valued members of the Tyne Gangway team. They are now ready to continue the legacy, being some of the youngest fabricators and welders within the workshop”.  “Good work, gentlemen”.

It was also good the hear from Bryan, TDR training “well done to Brent, Alex, and David in completing their Level 3 Advanced Apprenticeships with Tyne Gangway. It’s been a great experience for TDR Training to work alongside such a supportive company and one that values the learner journey”.
