Mr. David Richmond CBE paid a visit to Veterans UK and met with staff from a variety of business areas

Mr Richmond, a former serving member of the Armed Forces, visited Veterans UK last week and spoke with colleagues from various operational and support departments to learn more about the services they provide. He spoke at length with those in charge of administering the programmes and assisting members of the military services and their families as they transition into civilian life and beyond. Mr Richmond also met with members of the communication and engagement teams to learn more about the information and communication packages they are working on, as well as to highlight the role Veterans UK plays in supporting the Government’s Veterans Strategy, listening to veterans communities, and acting on their feedback.

Mr Richmond said:

Veterans UK is responsible for delivering pension, compensation and welfare to our veterans communities and are pivotal in delivering the government’s vision to make the UK the best place in the world to be a veteran. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the team at Norcross and was struck by their deep commitment and desire to do a great job. Ministers must ensure now that they give their team the tools they need to deliver that great service and the current digitisation programme will be vital to that.

We look forward to seeing Mr Richmond in future visits.

The former foreign minister shared joyful pictures of herself at an event hosted by the Mineral Resources mining services company on Instagram. According to reports, Ms. Bishop, 65, and her longtime lover David Panton, 61, broke up over dinner on July 1 at a restaurant in Sydney’s central business area. She was all smiles and seemed carefree in the photos shared on Monday night after speaking at a Mineral Resources professional development session. She captioned the photographs, saying, “Addressing employee grads at Mineral Resources’ professional development program, sharing my career story, the sliding-door moments plus a few tips!” Since late June, when she shared images of herself and Mr. Panton dining with Prince Charles in London, Ms. Bishop had not posted anything on Instagram.

At the event, which was held in memory of the late diplomat Dr. John Gee, Argentinian Mr. Grossi served as the main speaker. Since her breakup four nights prior, Ms. Bishop had not been seen in public until that moment. She made her first public appearance with Mr. Panton in 2014. Since then, the two have been seen together at a variety of occasions, including Karl Stefanovic and Jasmine Yarbrough’s wedding in 2018. When Mr. Panton declared that the relationship had reached its end on July 1, the couple went out to supper, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
