Veteran RM Ian Clark (pictured right), Managing Director of award-winning Arbroath-based IED Training Solutions has donated £4,370.59 to RMA – The Royal Marines Charity, handing over the large cheque to its Director of Health & Wellbeing, Danny Egan .
Through its collaborative relationship with RMA – The Royal Marines Charity, IED has been delivering nationally accredited and regulated training courses to serving personnel, service leavers, the veteran community and RMA corporate sponsors for the past two years.
The company pledged to return 50% of all net profits from the income generated through delivering mental health first aid training courses and this first cheque represented those provided to 118 of the Charity’s beneficiaries during the 12 months prior to May 2022. Learners were taught how to provide advice and practical support to an individual(s) presenting with a mental health condition.
Ian said:
“The Royal Marines are truly special and those of us that have or have had the privilege to serve in the Corps are especially aware of the impact which that service has had on their lives.
“Seeing the improvement in the Charity’s beneficiaries after being armed with the qualifications they gain through IED brings us all tremendous satisfaction.”
Director of Health & Wellbeing, Danny Egan, added:
“We greatly value the partnership we have developed with IED Training Solutions. The company’s gesture to share a percentage of its profits is most generous. We are delighted, too, to be able to support and promote a business run by one of our own and which provides such first-class products.”
