The ForcesOnline idea was conceived several years ago and stagnated until Vern and Steve formed XY Associates Ltd in 2005. We are both ex-Infantry Company Commanders with years of experience of operations all over the world.
We feel that members of the Armed Services and their families are a special breed - Loyal, proud, capable and determined – linked by a common bond of having given Service to the United Kingdom. No matter if the experience was good or bad, Service life is an experience that endures. Commercially the recognition of your Service is poor – We aim to change that.
According to the Secretary of State for Defence (2004) there are 13 Million people in UK have a past affiliation with the Armed Services and ALL are eligible to join ForcesOnline.com. This must be the largest ‘old boys’ network in the country! The internet is now easier to use and more widespread than ever. We will provide the best of the web because we know that you deserve only the very best goods, services and selected discounts. We will actively pursue companies on a daily basis in order to achieve the recognition that our membership so richly deserves.
Our vision is to make ForcesOnline.com the number one Recognition Scheme for our Services. By doing it ‘our way’ and with your help, we will work to provide our members with free access to a huge number of trusted retailers and suppliers who are keen to recognise the job that Service people and their families do every day of the week. Our Veterans and ex-members of the MoD also qualify for this recognition.

We are always looking for the best deal and YOU CAN HELP - Tell us your favourite sites and what you want to see on ForcesOnline.com, we will share the information with everyone and chase the market for a better deal for you.
