Specialist security firm SSGC has once again joined forces with its nominated charity Mission Motorsport, to give military veterans a high-speed spin around the historic Goodwood Motor Circuit.
At this year’s ninth annual invitation at the West Sussex venue, the Swindon-based company offered passenger rides to more than 100 veterans and current serving personnel on Monday, September 6.
SSGC CEO David Stubbs, a former military police officer, spent the day giving veterans high-octane passenger rides in his race-tuned Honda Civic Type-R as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to Mission Motorsport.
David said: “SSGC has always supported the armed forces community and we are a proud signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant.
“This is the third track day event we’ve supported Mission Motorsport at this summer and they have all been very humbling experiences to be a part of.
“They are great days to help veterans forget their day-to-day struggles and have a fantastic time with their families.”
James Cameron, CEO and Founder of Mission Motorsport added, “We are extremely grateful for all the support and sponsorship that SSGC has given to the charity. The charity was founded in order to help those who have been affected by their military service on a recovery journey and ultimately find employment beyond the military. As a signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant not only does SSGC support our charitable work but actively employs veterans and should be commended for their advocacy.”
SSGC has a long-standing link with the armed forces community and last year deployed more than 4,000 staff, many of whom were military veterans, to marshal Covid-19 testing centres across the UK on behalf of the UK government.
The company SSGC will also be supporting Mission Motorsport’s Race of Remembrance at Anglesey in Wales over the weekend of November 12 to 14 an event which returns in 2021 after a coronavirus-enforced break last year.
