The Command Table
A Strategic Dining Club for Britain's Veteran Leaders
The Command Table is the private dining and leadership forum of British Veteran Owned — a by-invitation-only gathering of senior veteran entrepreneurs, policymakers, and business leaders shaping the future of the UK's veteran-enterprise landscape.
Hosted quarterly at our permanent home, The Cavalry & Guards Club, the club provides an elegant and discreet setting for strategic dialogue, relationship-building, and advancing the role veteran-owned businesses play in strengthening Britain's economy.
Membership is intentionally limited. Each luncheon convenes a curated group of individuals whose experience, influence, and judgement help shape the national conversation on veteran entrepreneurship, enterprise policy, and British economic leadership.
Purpose
The Command Table exists to:
Strengthen high-level networks across business, government, and the veteran community.
Shape policy thinking around enterprise, innovation, procurement, and veteran economic contribution.
Provide a forum for strategic collaboration among leaders who have served and continue to lead.
Champion British business by showcasing the capability, resilience, and originality of veteran founders.
These quarterly lunches are not ceremonial. They are working forums designed to generate influence, unlock opportunity, and drive long-term national impact.
Our Home: The Cavalry & Guards Club
Set on Piccadilly, The Cavalry & Guards Club provides one of London's most distinguished military-heritage venues. Its tradition, decorum, and history make it the natural home for Britain's foremost veteran business forum.
Leadership
"Veterans possess a unique blend of discipline, resourcefulness, and leadership. The Command Table brings those qualities together in a setting where enterprise and service meet. It is a forum for shaping ideas, supporting British business, and ensuring the voice of veteran entrepreneurs is heard at the highest levels."
Sir George Jessel Bt. DL
President, The Command Table

The Command Table exists to unite those leaders, strengthen their influence, and ensure that the veteran enterprise community is recognised as a strategic asset to the UK economy. This forum allows us to think boldly, convene exceptional people, and champion British business shaped by service."
