When you serve in the Armed Forces, you become part of something bigger: a tight-knit community built on grit, loyalty, and a deep sense of purpose. But when it’s time to swap your combats for civvies, things can get a bit alien…

The military prepares you for all sorts of things: hostile terrain, early mornings, and drinking tea in conditions that would have the rest of us shivering in our centrally heated homes. What it doesn’t always prepare you for is navigating civvie street, where “briefing” means a ten-slide PowerPoint and “team building” involves controlling your urge to take the marketing consultant outside for a “chat”.

That’s where Behind the Hilt steps up; we know what’s behind every sword: the strength that wields it. The people. The stories. The unseen weight. Whether you’re just leaving, long retired, or still serving but planning ahead.

You’ve been there for Queen and Country. We’re now here for you, and your families, every step of the way, doing the best we can in an ad and algorithm free environment where professional values matter.
We we know life goes on after the day you sign off. Whether you’re stepping into a new career, looking for support in your new business venture, or just trying to figure out how to write a CV, we’re here to do what we can to help.
