We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We T SUMNER SMITH LTD. will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;

2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

Research on cyber security in enterprise connected devices
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-11)

This research sets out security vulnerabilities in a range of connected devices commonly-used by businesses.

“Enterprise connected devices” (or “IoT devices”) are devices used by businesses and organisations such as office printers, internet-connected telephones, building entry systems and room booking systems.

The government is concerned about the security of these products as vulnerable devices can provide a route for hostile actors to attack the IT systems used by businesses.

As part of the government’s work to address this issue and improve cyber resilience across the UK economy, the government commissioned NCC Group to conduct a vulnerability assessment of some commonly-used enterprise connected devices.

The research is attached here and the key findings include:
- A number of serious remote code execution vulnerabilities were discovered that could give an unauthenticated attacker full control of a device over the network.
- Outdated software was prevalent across devices, with one device’s bootloader being over 15 years old.
- In most cases an attacker with physical access to a device would be able to fully compromise a device and install a persistent backdoor.
- Most tested devices run all processes as the highly privileged “root” user, potentially giving an attacker unrestricted access or control of a device.
- Many of the discovered issues were related to generally insecure configuration of services, applications or features.
- Adherence to the NCSC’s Device Security Principles (https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/device-security-guidance/security-principles) and the ETSI EN 303 645 standard was mixed across the devices.
This research was published on 12 May 2025 alongside a government call for views on enterprise device security (https://www.gov.uk/government/calls-for-evidence/call-for-views-on-enterprise-connected-device-security).

Claim your property to manage your valuation
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-03)

Make sure you have claimed your property in your business rates valuation account.

Commercial property valuations are changing later this year.

If you want to see the details of your new valuation, you will need to:
- have a business rates valuation account
- link your property so it shows in your account
Once you have linked your property, you can use your business rates valuation account to:
- check the details we hold
- let us know if something is wrong
- see how your property’s valuation was worked out
Get your business rates valuation account (https://www.gov.uk/business-rates-valuation-account) today and claim your property.

You will need to provide proof of your relationship to the property. This could be a copy of the business rates or utility bill.

Some valuation information is confidential, so we need to know you have a right to see it.

It may take up to 15 working days for your property claim to be approved.

Watch our video on how to claim your property for business rates (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv3YDSLp9C4). We also have guidance on GOV.UK on adding your property to your account (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/add-your-property-to-your-account).

Business rates are based on the ‘rateable value’ of your property.

Every three years, the Valuation Office Agency updates the rateable values of all business properties in England and Wales to reflect changes in the property market. This is called a ‘revaluation’.

The next revaluation is scheduled to come into effect on 1 April 2026, based on the open market rental value of a property on 1 April 2024.

You can also use your business rates valuation account to tell the VOA if you believe your current property valuation is incorrect. But you must do this by 31 March 2026.
Insight Direct (UK) Ltd

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Insight Direct (UK) Ltd will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Insight Direct (UK) Ltd recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- Armed Forces Day
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.
