Invicta Park Barracks has been part of Maidstone since the 1930s, and 36 Engineer Regiment has called it home since 1959. The Queen’s Gurkha Engineers are based here too. If you’re serving at Invicta Park, or you’re a veteran or family member living in the Maidstone area, this page is for you.

Absolute Military is a specialist financial services broker that works exclusively with military personnel, reservists, veterans, and their families. We’re based in West Malling, less than ten miles from Invicta Park Barracks, and we understand the specific financial challenges that come with military life in Kent.

What we help with

We provide regulated financial advice across life insurance, serious illness cover, military kit insurance, personal accident cover, and travel insurance. Everything we do is built around the realities of service life: deployment, postings, the pension scheme, and the transition to civilian employment.

Life insurance for serving personnel needs to account for deployment, hazardous duties, and the specific terms that mainstream providers often load or exclude. We work with insurers who understand military risk, so you get cover that actually works when it matters.

Serious illness cover pays a tax-free lump sum on diagnosis of a specified condition. For personnel at Invicta Park, this sits alongside your AFPS 15 death-in-service benefit and any AFCS entitlement, filling a gap that the MOD provision was never designed to cover: a serious diagnosis that changes your career but doesn’t end your life.

Kit insurance covers your personal military equipment against loss, theft, and damage, including on deployment. If you’ve ever had to replace items out of your own pocket, you already know why this matters.

Why location matters

We work with personnel across every major base in the UK, but being local to Maidstone means we understand the area. We know that Invicta Park personnel and their families are spread across Maidstone, the Medway towns, and the surrounding Kent villages. We know the housing market, the commuting patterns, and the community that 36 Engineer Regiment and the Gurkha units have built here over decades.

That local knowledge matters when we’re helping you think about mortgages, protection, or planning around a posting. It’s not just about the product. It’s about understanding the life the product needs to fit into.
