We recently celebrated FORWARD 40, marking the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the current HMS FORWARD.

We invited local dignitaries, family, friends and associations to mark the date, and FORWARD’s contribution to the local community.

We were honoured to host the Lord Mayor of Birmingham, the Mayors of Wolverhampton, Solihull and Dudley, and the West Midlands Deputy Lieutenant, showcasing the best of the RNR to them.

Along with the celebrations we showed our guests some of the equipment and facilities we use to deliver training in the unit, while our RMR, and URNU colleagues were on hand to explain the broader work that happens at HMS FORWARD.
