🍾SPONSORS TAKE ON THE ELEMENTS AT ORSTON SHOOTING GROUND 🍾

A huge thank you to Heckler & Koch UK for sponsoring our Team Forces Clay Shoot at Orston Shooting Ground near Nottingham on Tuesday.

It was a well-attended and relaxed employee engagement day, where teams from our sponsor organisations had the opportunity to spend time together outside the workplace, recognise colleagues, and build relationships across the defence industry.

Ben from Centaur Sporting Academy added an extra dimension to the day with practical shooting development, while the instructors at Orston Shooting Ground ensured participants of all experience levels felt welcome and supported throughout.

Over a relaxed buffet lunch and between stands, guests had plenty of opportunity to network and strengthen connections across the defence community.

Congratulations to Pete from PointWire, who was once again the highest gun of the day and part of the winning team. Their performance was made even more impressive by the inclusion of two first-time shooters, one of whom dropped only two points throughout the day and the other just four.

A mixed Team Forces team secured second place, with Palo Alto Networks taking a closely contested third place.

Despite experiencing every type of weather imaginable, spirits remained high throughout the day. Thank you to everyone who attended and embraced the conditions to make the event such a success.

With exciting developments underway at Orston Shooting Ground, it is becoming an even stronger venue for corporate and team-building events, and we look forward to returning in the future.

Our next employee engagement event takes place in July, when sponsors will have the opportunity to sail with one of our beneficiary organisations, the Gwennili Trust. If you would like to find out more, please contact Verity at [email protected].
