An exclusive professional network for the Intelligence Corps community.
Every member adds value. Every connection compounds. From transition through career building to enterprise — this network grows with you.
Manui Dat Cognitio Vires — Knowledge Gives Strength to the Arm
The ROSE Network is not a welfare service. It is a closed professional community of Intelligence Corps personnel — Regulars, Reserves, Veterans, and their immediate families — where every member contributes and every connection creates value.
What makes this network different is who is in the room. The shared professional identity forged through Intelligence Corps service cannot be replicated elsewhere. That specificity is not a limitation — it is the reason the network works.
Ensuring nothing you have built through service is wasted. Structured mentoring and sector insight for those preparing to leave.
A professional network that strengthens with every member who joins it. Peer introductions, industry movement, and leadership development.
Moving beyond access to creation. Members building businesses, forming partnerships, and working together commercially.
The bonds formed through Intelligence Corps service create a foundation of trust that no open network can replicate.
The ROSE Network operates across three pillars. Each serves a different stage of professional life — together, they create a network that members never outgrow.
For those in their final period of service. Mentoring from experienced veterans, career awareness, sector insight, and the confidence that comes from knowing the network has your back.

“The shared professional identity forged through Intelligence Corps service creates a foundation of trust that no open network can replicate. It is the reason this network exists — and the reason it works.”
Built through shared service and a common understanding of what it means to operate in sensitive environments. You know who you are dealing with.
A professional community that understands confidentiality is not a policy — it is a reflex. Conversations stay in the room.
Every member contributes. Every introduction is considered. The network compounds because the people in it take ownership of its value.
Structured forums held across the United Kingdom. Invitation-led, low-cost, high-value. The kind of room where genuine professional relationships develop naturally — because of who is in it.
Monthly networking evenings in London. Last Thursday of every month, a different Rose-named pub. No registration, no agenda — just turn up. Find out more →
Over time, the network will develop regional presence through volunteer representatives — known as ROSE Buds — who provide a local point of contact and sustain the network's reach beyond the annual forums.

You're in your final period of service and want mentoring, sector insight, and a trusted introduction to the professional world beyond the military. The network ensures nothing you've built goes to waste.
You've transitioned and you're building a career. You want to be part of a professional community where your Intelligence Corps background is understood, valued, and actively useful. Your experience makes the network stronger.
You're ready to create — a business, a partnership, an advisory role. You want to work commercially with people you already trust. Our collaboration with British Veteran Owned helps make that possible.
The ROSE Network operates within the governance framework of the Intelligence Corps Association. It reports through established ICA structures to the Association's trustees and is subject to the same charitable obligations and standards of conduct.
The network is guided by operating principles of light-touch governance, volunteer-led delivery, trust-based relationships, and a commitment to avoid duplicating existing provision. Enterprise activity sits outside the charitable boundary — the network collaborates with British Veteran Owned, an independent organisation, to support veteran-led commercial enterprise.
The Intelligence Corps Association is a registered charity (No. 1175211) with the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
The ROSE Network is being rebuilt with purpose. Each phase builds on the last — from establishing the foundation to activating all three pillars.
Establishing leadership, clarifying purpose, and restoring confidence in the network's role and direction.
Launching structured mentoring, hosting forums, building the professional network, and creating visible engagement across the community.
Growing regional presence through ROSE Buds, activating the Enterprise pillar in collaboration with British Veteran Owned, and embedding the network as an enduring, self-reinforcing resource.
