Corps Security introduces Amy Wilkinson as Social Value Lead

January 14, 2022

Throughout Amy Wilkinson’s career she has been passionate about corporate social responsibility and has played a lead role in Corps Security obtaining Social Enterprise status, from investigating how to apply, what credentials needed to be met and working closely with the senior management team.

Mark Rogers, Executive Director, Corps Security, commented: “Social Enterprise status brings many benefits. For our business it guarantees that our social mission remains at the very heart of all we do and ensures we continue to operate in an ethical, transparent, and accountable way. I am excited to have Amy lead on this. It is my hope that together we can achieve great things for our people and our planet whilst supporting our purpose and Amy will make sure as a business, we do exactly that.”

Wilkinson began her career in the security industry in 2008 and over the past 13 years has held various roles across both sales and marketing functions. In this time, she has helped support sales strategy as a Bid Manager, working with colleagues to secure a number of large contracts with blue-chip customers. She is passionate about partnership and working collaboratively with client organisations who share the same values and ingrained sense of social responsibility as Corps.

Wilkinson developed an interest in corporate responsibility and social value, having observed the genuine and positive impact security colleagues can have both on client organisations and within their wider communities. Joining Corps in 2019, Wilkinson was excited to be working for an employer whose very purpose has its foundations in social value and community support. Corps was created in 1859 with a very specific and special social mission – to provide gainful employment to ex-service personnel returning from the Crimean war.

Moving forward Wilkinson will work in collaboration with Corps charity partner Combat Stress as well as other much deserving causes to define how the business can improve social impact. 

“One of the things I found when I joined Corps was it is not about the bottom line, whilst making a profit is important for Corps it is all about the people. I couldn’t be happier to take the lead on Social Enterprise. It is important for me that Corps gets the recognition it deserves for the work it does with ex-military personnel. Corps was founded on a social mission that it still lives by today. It is now my duty to make sure we keep that mission alive alongside achieving our environmental and governance goals,” states Wilkinson.
