This week, Universal Tankers is proud to help raise awareness for National Cadets Week 2026 and the valuable contribution Cadet Forces make to young people and the wider Armed Forces community.

We’re proud to support the Armed Forces community, and this year we were delighted to be awarded the Armed Forces Covenant ERS Gold Award, recognising our commitment to supporting those who serve, veterans and their families.

As part of that commitment, Universal Tankers offers paid volunteering leave to Cadet Force Adult Volunteers, helping our colleagues give their time and support to the next generation.

This National Cadets Week, we're proud to stand behind the volunteers who make the cadet movement possible."

What an achievement, Vojtech!

We’re incredibly proud of our colleague, Vojtech Cepek, who recently took on and completed a triathlon in support of Tom Harrison House.

Vojtech raised money for Tom Harrison House, which provides a specialist addiction recovery programme for UK Armed Forces serving personnel, veterans and emergency services personnel.

Taking on a challenge like this requires serious commitment, determination and plenty of hard work - qualities we’re proud to see reflected in Vojtech, both on and off the road.

A huge congratulations from everyone at Universal Tankers on completing the challenge and raising money for such an important cause.

Well done, Vojtech!
