The funds raised will go towards the company’s partner charity Blesma (the British Limbless Ex-Service Men’s Association), which supports veterans who have suffered life-changing limb loss and injury.

Senior leaders including Alex Moore, communications director and Phil Thornber, procurement and commercial director, set the walkers off from Warton with Jonathan Evans, head of F-35 Lightning II Operations, sounding the starting siren at Samlesbury.
