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 Wingbox 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 Wingbox 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 Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- 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.

Vietnam could generate up to £13.4 billion in GDP and 1.5 million jobs by 2030 through green investments in energy, agriculture, and industry, supported by a £168 million pipeline of investable projects.

This slide deck was prepared by the Growth Gateway programme team in collaboration with the Boston Consulting Group. It aims to support stakeholders in understanding how Vietnam could unlock over £13.4 billion in GDP and create up to 1.5 million jobs by 2030 through targeted green investments in agriculture, energy, and industry, supported by a £168 million pipeline of sustainable projects.

The document analyses the potential effect of mitigation and resilience policy actions on Vietnam’s economy, prioritises sectors using an impact framework, models the socio-economic potential of projects, and offers recommendations on overcoming market barriers.

Making sense of mode effects
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-11)

A framework for anticipating performance differences in equivalent paper-based and digital test items.

A substantial body of literature comparing performance on equivalent paper-based and digital assessments has accumulated over the past 40 years. Broadly, differences in performance between the 2 modes have come to be known as ‘mode effects’.

This paper aims to provide a framework to support researchers and practitioners, such as test developers, in anticipating whether specific test items — or features and properties of those items — are likely to elicit mode effects.

To develop this framework, a comprehensive review of the literature was conducted, focusing on mode effects at the item or item feature level. The review explores the underlying causes of mode effects to help practitioners evaluate their generalisability and assist researchers in designing targeted studies to investigate these phenomena further.

Analysis of the findings from the literature revealed that the causes of mode effects can be attributed to one of 4 stages in the process of answering test questions. This insight led to the development of a 4-stage framework. By organising the evidence for mode effects according to these stages, the framework enables practitioners to systematically review test items under development in relation to potential mode effects at each stage.

Merger investigation outcomes
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-03)

Outcomes of merger investigations carried out by the CMA under the Enterprise Act 2002.

The CMA investigates the impact of certain potential mergers and assesses how they could impact competition in the UK.

Tens of thousands of mergers take place each year where the CMA does not intervene – PwC estimated (https://www.pwc.com/gx/en/services/deals/trends.html) that 50,000 took place globally in 2023 alone. We only intervene if we think the deal is truly problematic and could have a negative impact on people, businesses or the UK economy.

In 2024, we considered 1,037 mergers but only formally investigated 38 (3.6%) of them.

Less than 1% of mergers considered in 2024 were blocked or abandoned.

This page includes:

an overview of how many mergers we considered and investigated, and the investigation outcomes, in the full calendar years from 2022 to 2024

the outcomes of all merger investigations completed in each financial year, from 1 April 2004 to the latest full month

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 Aberdein Considine 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 Aberdein Considine 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
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Discounts
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.
