The National Transition Event 2027
A Community That Understands
NTE offers a unique opportunity for the Armed Forces community to connect with organisations and people who value their experiences. This event is not an employment fair; it's more of a chance for engagement, networking and information gathering with those who want to meet members of the Armed Forces community. Attendees can gain first hand insights from industry Armed Forces networks, make connections, and explore a variety of opportunities. It's an event that recognises the potential of the Armed Forces via the creation of ‘a community of communities’ within an ‘expo’ format..
Access To the Armed Forces
The Armed Forces community brings a wealth of experience and a unique set of skills that are highly beneficial to the UK. Their background instils strong values, transferable experiences, and the ability to adapt, making them an asset to any team and challenge. NTE provides a platform for industry, volunteer organisations and individuals to connect with this community, offering mutually beneficial opportunities. We also proudly showcase Reserve service, volunteering within youth organisations as well as opportunities available in the third sector. Celebrations on our event stages provide a spotlight where this all comes together for all to see.
Troops’ Track Day Is Included

Organized by Mission Motorsport in partnership with Gold Track, this event not only provides high-speed thrills but underlines the fact that this is a community gathering. With the participation of notable drivers, celebrities and Armed Forces motorsport teams, it's an unforgettable day that combines the thrill of motorsport with a focus on celebrating community.
What Previous attendees have to say about the event:
“Speaking as somone who completed their service in the Royal Air Force over 20 years ago when there was very little available other than a short list of ‘resettlement courses’, it’s heartwarming to see the amount of encouragement and support that is being made available to service personnel whilst they navigate what is can undoubtedly be a confusing and challenging transition back into civilian life.”
“What an amazing day! I made some great connections and thouroughly enjoyed chatting with potential employers. The Renewable Hall allowed me to gain valuable insight into the green energy sector. Iwould highly recommend attending this event to any service leaver in the future. Brilliant!”
“Attending the National Transition Event has not only changed my life but my son’s also. I’m ecstatic to be starting my ne role with a company that attended the event!”

An Iconic and Sustainable Venue
Silverstone has been awarded Three-Star Environmental accreditation by the FIA in recognition of the impressive progress being made on its journey to a net zero future.
Since launching its Shift to Zero strategy, Silverstone has invested heavily in environmental initiatives, including the installation of 2,764 solar panels on the roof of The Wing, generating more than 13% of the venue's energy requirements. The venue is now powered by 100% renewable electricity, while the use of HVO biofuel across on-site generators has delivered a 90% reduction in emissions
Visitors and staff also benefit from 24 solar-powered EV charging points, and Silverstone has achieved a 35% recycling rate, with remaining waste diverted to energy recovery facilities. These achievements helped secure the circuit's FIA Three-Star accreditation and demonstrate its ongoing commitment to creating a more sustainable future for motorsport.
