Our Commitment to the Armed Forces

At G&M EUROTEX, our relationship with the UK military goes far deeper than the equipment we manufacture. We are proud to announce that we are a formal signatory to the Armed Forces Covenant (AFC).
 


This voluntary pledge is our public promise that no member of the military community – whether serving personnel, reservists, veterans, or service families – will be treated unfairly or placed at a disadvantage within our business. We are committed to offering flexible career opportunities, forces-friendly workplace policies, and strong support networks for those who have served our country.

Why the Military Mindset Fits Our Mission

Our workforce is a natural fit for those with military experience. The hands-on engineering knowledge, equipment mastery, and real-world operational intelligence that ex-forces personnel possess are valuable assets to our group. Because we design, manufacture, and refurbish complex machinery specifically for defence contractors, having team members who have personally operated in high-stakes environments injects a vital layer of practical understanding into our workshops. Your understanding of mission-critical reliability matches our engineering ethos perfectly.

How We Support the Armed Forces Community

We offer career support and flexibility tailored to the needs of the Armed Forces community:

  • Career Pathways: We engage with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP) to offer work opportunities. 
  • Reservists: We support staff serving as Reservists by providing additional days of paid annual leave to ensure you can complete your essential training and operational duties.
  • Supporting Spouses: We offer short-notice leave to employees whose partners are sent on deployment, and we explore remote-working solutions to give military spouses the stability they need.
  • Cadet Force Adult Volunteers: We offer additional paid annual leave to Cadet Force Adult Volunteers to assist with their training obligations.

The TEX GROUP Advantage

G&M EUROTEX operates as a vital pillar within the specialised Engineering Division of TEX GROUP. This strategic alignment allows us to deliver a comprehensive "concept-to-delivery" manufacturing ecosystem that effectively reduces supply chain risks for prime contractors.

Our engineering sister companies collaborate to combine specialised skill sets:

  • G&M EUROTEX: Leaders in the custom design and manufacture of mission-critical marine diesel gensets and land-based containerised power systems.
  • TEX ATC: The global authority in air traffic control rooms, specialised military glazing, and naval visual control environments.
  • BSP-TEX: The fabrication backbone of the group, supplying specialised light-to-heavy engineering, piling and road maintenance equipment, and trailers for the defence sector.

Trusted Subcontract Manufacturing for Defence Contractors

The modern defence sector demands sovereign industrial resilience. TEX GROUP serves as a premier, high-capacity subcontract manufacturing partner for the Ministry of Defence and prime defence contractors like BAE Systems.

Our combined divisions collaborate on complex, secure, and classified military infrastructure projects. Flagship examples of our collective capability include:

  • Queen Elizabeth-Class Aircraft Carriers: Designing and project-managing the advanced, blast-resistant Flying Control Rooms (FLYCO) and specialised maritime glazing for HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales.
  • Naval Auxiliary Fleet Power: Delivering combat-ready auxiliary AC generators and critical life-cycle propulsion support for Royal Navy Destroyers and international fleets.
  • Tactical Mobility Solutions: Co-engineering heavy-duty, shock-qualified, and bespoke military trailer systems for harsh deployment environments.
