Barclays Military Resource Group

Barclays Military Resource Group aims to connect colleagues with an interest in the military, including our veterans and reservists. 

The Barclays Military Resource Group (BMRG) provides a forum for veterans, reservists, family members, friends, and anyone with an interest in the military to raise awareness of various challenges and initiatives, engage in development, support our campaign and build relationships with colleagues across Barclays.

Through our Employee Resource Group of over 700 colleagues globally, the group connects colleagues through the distribution of regular newsletters that include news stories, and details of internal and external events.​​​​​​​
