Take advantage of tech discounts

Those who work for the UK’s Armed Forces, veterans and the wider defence community can get their hands on exclusive tech offers thanks to Defence Discount Service …

Accessing the discounts is straightforward: Service personnel and their spouses just need to be able to prove their identity via the online registration form.

Explaining more about the discount service’s support for the defence community, Tom Dalby, Defence Discount Service CEO, says: ‘With spring upon us and the days getting longer, we think it’s time for a bit of reflection on how far we have come and, if we all pull together, how much more we can achieve. The road ahead may be long and uncertain, but we want to show our support to the British defence community.
‘We are really lucky to be partnered with some amazing brands in the tech sector and we hope that these discounts help our members to treat themselves this year. We are always blown away by the efforts of everyone working on the front line, both at home and overseas, but the past 12 months have really highlighted their commitment and dedication to keeping us safe. We hope our discounts help our members and their families treat themselves to something special and offer a thank you in some small way for all that they do.’
