How it all began…
Cliff Allum, left the British Army with a plan. He wanted to create a better way for former service men and women to access second careers after resettlement.
Like most great ideas, Pimento Connection was born in a bar, helping friends and colleagues find new roles in their new lives. Since then, Pimento has grown from strength to strength, and placed 1000s of veteran service personel into successful careers in the UK and abroad.
Why Pimento?
The name PIMENTO first was used in World War 2 in France by Cliff’s close friend and hero, Tony Brooks.
A fluent French speaker, Tony joined and operated as a member of the Special Operations Executive (SOE) and, whilst still aged barely 20 years old, was twice parachuted into France to form and command a group of resistance fighters (code-named PIMENTO).
