Compass Group appoints Armed Forces Committee co-chair
Abstract
Compass Group UK & Ireland has appointed Kris Nicholson as co-chair of its Armed Forces Committee, joining existing co-chair Angela Lewis and executive sponsor Mark Webster, chief executive of Compass One.

Nicholson joined Compass as business director for ESS in 2024, following a 34-year career in the Royal Navy as a logistics officer. As both a veteran and active reservist, he brings an understanding of the Armed Forces community and a strong commitment to supporting its members.

The Armed Forces Committee is an award-winning employee network that provides essential support to employees who are part of the Armed Forces Community (veterans, reservists, spouses, cadets and families).

Earlier this year, Compass was honoured to win the ‘Business Award’ at the Celebrating Forces Families Awards, in recognition of the key initiatives that have been implemented in support of its Armed Forces community.

Commenting on his appointment, Nicholson said: “Supporting the military community is something which is very close to my heart, so I’m thrilled to be taking on this role alongside Angela.

“The work undertaken by this network to date has been incredible - providing not just support but actually driving meaningful change for military communities. I’m looking forward to working with the brilliant group of dedicated and enthusiastic ambassadors, to continue and develop the great work being done in this important space.”
