About the Army HIVE Information Service

HIVE Information Centres support the Chain of Command and Service communities through the provision of up to date and relevant information

The HIVE Information Service is an information network available to all members of the Service community - serving personnel both married and single, together with their families and dependants as well as civilians employed by the Services.

Worldwide the HIVE Information Centres offer an extensive range of information on relocation, local unit and civilian facilities, places of interest, schools and further education, housing, healthcare facilities, employment and training opportunities.

We network worldwide, sourcing national and local information as needed. Information on relocations is one of our key areas of information support and is available either in advance or on arrival at the receiving unit. Information on the ways to communicate with those serving away on operational deployments is also available through our HIVE Information Centres.

HIVE Information Support Officers are not trained in welfare counselling. We are however able to advise referral to those professional agencies best suited to the individual's circumstances. All HIVE staff are bound to a code of confidentiality.

We are proud that our service is recognised and valued across the Armed Forces for its professional approach, initiative and commitment to you, the Service community.
