"The Federation of Master Builders (FMB) was established in July 1941 by 15 small builders who were determined to help Britain build back better after the London Blitz of 1940. Faced with a shortage of skilled labour and materials, the builders – united by a shared passion for quality construction – worked together to coordinate the efforts of local builders to restore bomb-damaged buildings and homes. What began then as the Federation of Greater London Master Builders, later became the Federation of Master Builders in 1943 to reflect the national reach of the organisation. The FMB ‘badge of quality’ was created and to this day, continues to identify small and medium-sized (SME) building companies that are committed to quality craftsmanship."

"The real Living Wage is an independently calculated rate based on the cost of living and is paid voluntarily by employers. The rate is currently £12.60 and is calculated annually by The Resolution Foundation on an analysis of the wage that employees need to earn in order to afford the basket of goods required for a decent standard of living. This basket of goods includes housing, childcare, transport and heating costs."

"Soldiers will be called upon to make personal sacrifices - including the ultimate sacrifice - in the service of the Nation. In putting the needs of the Nation and the Army before their own, they forego some of the rights enjoyed by those outside the Armed Forces.
In return, British soldiers must always be able to expect fair treatment, to be valued and respected as individuals, and that they (and their families) will be sustained and rewarded by commensurate terms and conditions of service.
In the same way the unique nature of military land operations means that the Army differs from all other institutions, and must be sustained and provided for accordingly by the Nation.
This mutual obligation forms the Military Covenant between the Nation, the Army and each individual soldier; an unbreakable common bond of identity, loyalty and responsibility which has sustained the Army throughout its history. It has perhaps its greatest manifestation in the annual commemoration of Armistice Day, when the Nation keeps covenant with those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives in action."
