Supporting Cadet Training and Our AFC Gold Award Values

03/11/2025

ANP Pharma, part of Wescom Group, is proud to support the Essex Army Cadet Force by donating an essential lifesaving training asset, a defibrillator, to enhance emergency response and first aid capability across their training programmes.

Proudly receiving the defibrillator were Sergeant Instructor Robinson, and Lance Corporal Robinson-Wilson.

Sergeant Instructor Robinson expressed his gratitude:

“We are extremely grateful to ANP Pharma for supporting the cadets and enhancing our emergency medical training. The equipment will be used across all aspects of combat training and is an invaluable asset to have available. Thank you once again to ANP Pharma for your generosity and continued support.”

Demonstrating Wescom Group’s ERS Gold Award Commitment

Wescom Group holds the Gold Award from the Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS). This honour recognises organisations that are exemplary in their support to the Armed Forces community, including:

• Championing the Armed Forces Covenant across their sector and supply chain
• Actively supporting Reservists and Service leavers with dedicated employment and training opportunities
• Encouraging and enabling volunteer Cadet Force Adult Instructors
• Providing resources and initiatives that help develop the skills and future opportunities of cadets

ANP Pharma’s contribution aligns directly with these principles. By equipping cadets with lifesaving medical training support, we are investing in young people who represent the next generation of the UK’s defence community, while strengthening practical emergency readiness skills that can benefit them far beyond the cadet experience.

Continuous Support for Those Who Serve

Across Wescom Group, we continue to expand our commitment to the wider Armed Forces family. Our donation to the Essex Cadets is one more example of how we translate our Gold Award values into meaningful action.

Wescom Group is proud to stand alongside those who serve, those who have served, and those who support them.
