Andrew Warner - Veteran Workforce Solutions - how Andy's 25 year career in the military has led to an amazing business helping corporate Australia hold and grow their veteran workforce.

In this episode, we sit down with Andrew Warner, founder and CEO of Veteran Workforce Solutions (VWS) โ€” a nationally recognised veteran-owned business delivering scalable, procurement-aligned programs that help Australian organisations attract, support and retain veteran talent.

After nearly 25 years in the Australian Army, with deployments to East Timor, Iraq and two tours in Afghanistan, Andy transitioned into senior logistics and supply chain roles across the defence industry. What he saw there shaped everything that came next: veteran value talked about publicly, but rarely built into real systems, capability or long-term outcomes.

That insight led him to create VWS โ€” not as a gesture, but as a credible, structured framework that gives employers, government and procurement teams something real to work with. Andy breaks down the difference between genuine veteran support and what he calls โ€œvet claddingโ€, and shares what corporate Australia must understand if they want to truly harness veteran potential.
