Where can you find professional businesses that are run by military families, all in one place? findamilspo.co.uk is the new business search website from Milspo, and it’s now live!
Milspo, founded in 2018, is a global network that supports UK military SPOs (spouses, partners and other-halves) to build successful and resilient businesses that endure the nomadic forces life. Milspo Network CIC is run solely by SPOs for SPOs, supporting a growing community of 1,200 engaged members, with a seat at government level spousal employment steering groups.
It’s built by military SPOs specifically for military SPOs in business. The website is available for anyone to use and its launch has been timed ready for the busy Christmas shopping period, so you can shop away knowing you’ll be directly supporting forces families.
Milspo founder and Head of Operations Jess Sands, says: “We are so proud to launch this one-of-a-kind directory. It’s been a true SPO team effort. There are thousands of self-employed and business owning SPOs out there, not just in the UK, who I know will benefit from this fantastic directory.
“As of today we are offering sponsorship opportunities on findamilspo.co.uk. So if there are any corporates out there who would like to support the armed forces community directly, contact us. With a new emphasis on the importance of military SPOs within the Armed Forces Covenant criteria, we see this as a unique way to help organisations directly support the Armed Forces Community. It also provides an excellent opportunity to demonstrate their commitment, and supports applications for further awards.”
Rachel Luke, Virtual Assistant and Milspo member says: “Signing up to the directory was so quick and easy to do, just five minutes, and I know my business is going to get increased visibility to those of us who like to support the amazing Milspo businesses out there. And I’ve already had my first enquiry through the site!”
