FTG In Partnership with Quest Online

Two Forces-Aligned Powerhouses, One Mission: Your Transition Success

Questonline.co.uk - The UK’s most popular independent resettlement and recruitment platform for the Armed Forces, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with the Forces Transition Group (FTG)- A dynamic and inclusive support organisation dedicated to helping the wider Service Community, including Armed Forces, blue light personnel, veterans, spouses, and siblings, transition successfully into civilian life.

Serving the Whole Community

While Quest has long stood as a trusted gateway for the Armed Forces community – offering vital resettlement advice, career opportunities, and training pathways – FTG complements this mission by extending its support to serving and former Armed Forces personnel, as well as the blue light community, spouses and siblings who also navigate the challenges of transition. Together, Quest and FTG aim to simplify the journey, offering clarity, access, and opportunity to a community known for its resilience, skills, and commitment.

Why This Partnership Matters to Employers and Educators
By aligning their platforms and expertise, Quest and FTG offer a powerful new simplified route for employers, training providers, and universities to connect with one of the most capable and values-driven workforces in the UK.

Key Benefits Include:

  • Unmatched Reach: Advertisers on Quest will gain extended exposure through FTG’s UK-wide calendar of live events, roadshows, masterclasses, and a highly engaged digital community.
  • Authentic Access to Talent: Both platforms are embedded in the service community. When you work with Quest and FTG, your message comes with built-in trust and credibility.
  • Dual-Channel Visibility: Opportunities will be featured in Quest Magazine, reaching thousands of monthly readers, and across FTG’s platforms targeting transitioning service personnel and their families.
  • Better Candidate Engagement: With both organisations offering personalised advice and mentorship, candidates will not only discover opportunities — they’ll be supported through every step to success.

Leaders on the Partnership

“This partnership brings together two respected Forces-facing platforms to offer one streamlined route for organisations to connect with those leaving the service, veterans, and their families. Whether you're an employer, training provider, or university, it’s now even easier to engage this remarkable talent pool.”Bill Johnston, Managing Director, Questonline

“We’ve always believed in building relationships, not just contacts. Partnering with Quest means we can give the wider service community even greater visibility of the life-changing opportunities available — and help organisations connect more meaningfully with those who have served.”John Stephenson, Managing Director, Forces Transition Group
