Silver Award status as service veteran employer

Armed Forces Covenant

Fantom Factory has pleged to uphold the values of the Armed Forces Covenant and we also take part in the local authority Forum to help serve our community.

"The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise by the nation ensuring that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families, are treated fairly."

A note from Emma Eynon - founder of Fantom Factory

"As a British Army veteran with the Royal Corps of Signals I believe it is extremely important to encourage and support members of the Service community to move into rewarding new careers and opportunities.

"I was in that position once and now I'm very proud to be able to offer help and support with my own digital business."
