High-performance transmission specialist
Hewland Engineering
has strengthened its commitment to the UK defence sector by signing the Armed Forces Covenant. The official signatory ceremony, which took place at the
Commercial Vehicle Show 2026/a> at the NEC, Birmingham last week, was overseen by Lieutenant Colonel Duncan Southill from the British Army.
Supporting those who have served their country and ensuring that they are treated with fairness and respect, the covenant recognises the sacrifices made by ex-forces personnel and champions national equality. It covers education and wellbeing, as well as housing, careers, healthcare, financial assistance and discounted services.
By signing the covenant, Hewland pledges to uphold its principles by supporting the wellbeing of veteran team members. The business has also set out its own set of commitments, which include a vow to support the wider defence community.
Darren Carter, business development director at Hewland Engineering, has been appointed covenant champion and will be responsible for ensuring the team acts in accordance with its pledges.
He commented: “Signing the Armed Forces Covenant demonstrates our commitment to the wellbeing of the ex-forces community, as well as the UK defence sector as a whole.
“As a leader in high performance transmissions, we work closely with customers operating across the defence and aerospace sectors. We’re proud to provide exceptional solutions for essential applications and we’re passionate about harnessing our heritage in motorsport and automotive to deliver added value.
“With a number of ex-forces personnel already working within the Hewland team, supporting veteran personnel and promoting equality is an important corporate priority. As our internal champion, I am delighted to have signed the Armed Forces Covenant and will be working hard with all of our excellent colleagues to enact our pledges.”
Hewland Engineering is a British transmission manufacturer, headquartered in Maidenhead. Part of the Hero Motors Group the company, whose origins began in motorsport, now specialises in the design, development, testing, and manufacture of transmission units for use in aerospace, automotive, defence, and maritime sectors, from bespoke small-scale production, through large-scale manufacture.
