Forces for Change

According to the Ministry of Defence statistics (2020), around 15,000 people leave the UK Armed Forces every year and there are over 2.4 million veterans in the community. The United States Department of Defence statistics (2020) state there are 18 million veterans living in society and over 200,000 veterans leaving the military every year. In our next forward-thinking panel discussion, we will be exploring how ex-military personnel have made their mark in a successful transition to civilian life.

The aim of the virtual webinar is to provide ex-forces personnel with a unique networking opportunity, bringing together the ex-military community for an empowering panel discussion with live Q&A on how to overcome challenges, career pathways, opportunities post forces and how to cope with the transition from military to the civilian world.

Colin Maclachlan
Colin Maclachlan joined the army in 1989 and after 9 years in the Royal, Scots passed selection first time aged 23 into 22 SAS. Colin was fortunate enough to have been involved in some of the more high profile and daring missions of the recent period. Only a handful of men have been involved in hostage negotiations, hostage rescue and been hostage themselves and Colin is one of them. He waded through stinking swamps in Sierra Leone in West Africa to hunt down the West Side Boys, a guerilla gang holding five British soldiers hostage. It was a mission so daring and dangerous they nicknamed it Operation Certain Death. The SAS recce teams secured the hostages’ building and neutralised any West Side Boys prior to the main assault arriving and secured the prison building before the rest of the unit arrived wiping out the terrorists in 2000.
