00:00Out with the old, in with the new, Royal British Legion Industries in Ellsford has just been

00:08renamed Royal British Veterans Enterprise to reflect the work being done to get ex-servicemen

00:17back into employment and living stable lives.

00:21Yes, we're really excited about it, a new name, a new identity to reflect the work that

00:27we do and what we do at Royal British Veterans Enterprise is create jobs, provide homes and

00:33build communities.

00:35Quite excited, I've worked in the Royal British Legion Industries for 26 years and now this

00:42new branding is going to take the charity further, you know, it's a lot of work out there and

00:49hopefully we can employ veterans in our new franchise.

00:56Along with a new name, the charity has also welcomed a new president.

01:02I think as president it's important to say thank you to everybody who works here and who

01:11contributes to making this such an incredibly thriving community.

01:15one of the new plans by the RBVE is constructing a new factory here at this site in Ellsford with

01:22building scheduled to begin in summer of next year.

01:27With 2026 fast approaching, the RBVE is eager to take this revamped energy and make some big changes to help

01:34those who served.
