Welcome from our Founder & Managing Director

Welcome to SMJ. I’m Andrew Jackson, founder and managing director, and it’s my pleasure to introduce our mission. Ten years ago, as a former brigadier, I established SMJ to bridge the gap between the military and civilian job markets, helping service leavers transition smoothly into meaningful careers. Since then, we’ve launched the Pathways Programme, offering free cybersecurity training to veterans, and most recently, SMJ Consulting Services, which supports companies in enhancing their social value through veteran-friendly initiatives. Thank you for visiting – we look forward to working together to create lasting opportunities for veterans and their employers.
