The National Employers Liaison Committee

The National Employers’ Liaison Committee

The National Employers’ Liaison Committee (NELC) was set up by the government in 1986 in order to foster strong links between employers and the Volunteer Reserves of the Armed Forces.

–

The Volunteer Reserve Forces (VRF) comprise the Royal Naval Reserve, the Royal Marines Reserve, the Territorial Army and the Royal Auxiliary Air Force; they are men and women who give up their spare time to train alongside our Regular Forces.

NELC has the support of all the major political parties, the CBI, IOD, BCC, EEF, TUC and over 80% of Britain’s top employers throughout the country. With its regional network of Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Associations (RFCA), NELC’s mission is to encourage employers to support their employees who are in the VRF or who wish to join.
