<p>It&rsquo;s no secret that Carbon60 has been an avid supporter and partner of the military for many years now. From working closely with the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.carbon60global.com/sectors/defence" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ministry of Defence on recruitment projects</a>, and being recognised with an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.carbon60global.com/blog/carbon60-recognised-with-mod-gold-award" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MOD Gold Award</a>, to employing and supporting&nbsp;<a href="https://www.carbon60global.com/blog/armed-forces-profile-bruno-wood" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">current and ex-forces members</a>, our involvement with the British Armed Forces has always been a priority.</p>
<p>That&rsquo;s why for the past six years, we&rsquo;ve been delighted to sponsor the Royal Navy Football Association. And, on March 30<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;an exciting inter-service men&rsquo;s match was hosted between the Royal Navy and the Army.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s not the first time the two forces have clashed on the football field. In fact, this competition has been an annual sporting tradition between the Army, RAF and Royal Navy for many years now.</p>
<p>During a long history of battling it out on the pitch, it&rsquo;s the Army who have won the most matches, and this most recent clash saw them adding yet another win to the list after beating the Navy in a 2-1 defeat last month.</p>
<p>As sponsors, we&rsquo;re always eager to follow the matches, but with the pandemic having halted the competition in 2020 and 2021, this year&rsquo;s was particularly welcome.</p>
<p>Carbon60&rsquo;s Managing Director, Paul Nolan, commented: &ldquo;Although the game didn&rsquo;t end in the results we would have liked for the Royal Navy team, it was certainly an exciting game demonstrating how far inter-services football has come during our proud period of sponsorship.&rdquo;</p>
<p>However, this isn&rsquo;t Carbon60&rsquo;s only military sports sponsorship. We&rsquo;re also keen supporters of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.carbon60projectservices.com/blog/valuing-values">RAF&rsquo;s Ski Team</a>. But why is Carbon60 so keen to support initiatives and events like these and why do they matter? The answer goes far beyond simply our recruitment expertise in the defence sector&hellip;</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s because we share many of the same principles as our British armed forces. And, like the military, we understand the important role that sport plays in bringing people together and strengthening the key attributes that unite us all.</p>
<p>Members of our forces, and sports participants alike, need to be driven, committed and enthusiastic. And these are features we look for in our own people. Often described as a family, our employees at Carbon60 take pride in working together as a team to achieve a shared set of goals - in the same way that many of the most successful sporting teams combine differing strengths to climb to the top of their league.</p>
<p>Sporting activities are also fundamental in developing resilience and resourcefulness. And in the competitive and often challenging world of recruitment, these are important qualities for overcoming obstacles and achieving success. They&rsquo;re characteristics we encourage and celebrate across the entire Carbon60 business.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s for all of these reasons combined that we&rsquo;re dedicated to supporting the British Royal Navy Football Association - an organisation founded to promote and encourage teamwork and whose values align closely with our own.</p>
<p>This year, it&rsquo;s the RAF who were crowned overall Inter-Service Champions and we extend our congratulations to them on a great performance throughout the season. But we look forward to our ongoing sponsorship of the Royal Navy and to continuing to support them, whatever the result, next season. Keep up the great work, guys. Carbon60 wishes you lots of luck for the 2023 competition!</p>

It’s no secret that Carbon60 has been an avid supporter and partner of the military for many years now. From working closely with the Ministry of Defence on recruitment projects, and being recognised with an MOD Gold Award, to employing and supporting current and ex-forces members, our involvement with the British Armed Forces has always been a priority.

Carbon60 Proudly Sponsors the Royal Navy Football Association

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Carbon60 Project Services proudly sponsored the Royal Navy Winter Sports Association (RNWSA) for winter 2023/24, supporting the association in their efforts to provide all service personnel &ndash; including injured veterans &ndash; with access to snow and ice sports throughout the season. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This sponsorship of the RNWSA, who train and develop winter sports athletes to compete across eight disciplines and events &ndash; Alpine Ski, Snowboarding, Telemark, Nordic, Bobsleigh, Bob-Skeleton and Luge &ndash; at inter-service and national competitions, and work with service charities such as the British Limbless Ex-Serviceman&rsquo;s Association, is in keeping with Carbon60&rsquo;s enduring commitment to our Armed Forces and helping to provide opportunities for service men and women. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Four representatives from Carbon60 attended the second week of the festival, at which Carbon60 Project Services also sponsored the Banked Slalom Snowboard race &ndash; with our team presenting the winners medals at a separate celebration ceremony. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Aside from fulfilling their important role as medal givers, our representatives also had the pleasure of attending a series of events hosted by delegates and military representatives.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Following the recent regaining of the coveted Mercury Cup, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.carbon60projectservices.com/blog/carbon60-proudly-sponsors-the-royal-navy-football-association">Carbon60-sponsored Royal Navy Men&rsquo;s Football Team</a> have become &ndash; for the first time in 8 years &ndash; the 2024 Inter Service Champions. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Having beaten a strong British Army side 2-1 in the Mercury Cup match at Portsmouth FC&rsquo;s Fratton Park stadium, the Navy seniors went into the championship decider against the talented RAF team full of confidence. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">However, they faced an early setback in the match, falling behind early at Shrewsbury Town&rsquo;s The Croud Meadow Stadium against the determined RAF boys, who held on to their lead until half time. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The second half was a different story though, with the Navy&rsquo;s quality and persistence &ndash; and two excellent Elliot Holmes goals &ndash; making the difference, securing an electric 2-1 win and a new home for the Inter Services trophy at HMS Temeraire. </span></p>

Sponsorship Spotlight: Inter Service Success for the Royal Navy Men’s Football Team

<p>Following <a href="https://www.carbon60projectservices.com/blog/sponsorship-spotlight-inter-service-success-for-the-royal-navy-men-s-football-team">their momentous Inter Services trophy win in 2024</a>, their first in 8 years, the <a href="https://www.carbon60projectservices.com/blog/carbon60-proudly-sponsors-the-royal-navy-football-association">Carbon60-sponsored Royal Navy Men&rsquo;s Football Team</a> unfortunately couldn&rsquo;t quite retain their title in 2025, eventually losing out to an inspired British Army side in Portsmouth.</p>
<p>Having kicked-off their title defence with an impressive 3-0 win over their Royal Air Force counterparts, the Navy seniors went into the final against the Army full of confidence and only needing a draw to take the Inter Services trophy back home to HMS Temeraire once again.</p>
<p>The Navy dominated the opening exchanges between the teams, however &ndash; needing a win to become 2025 champions &ndash; the Army side managed to get a grip on the match, and eventually the trophy, winning 3-0 against the pre-championship favourites.</p>
<p>As always, the final &ndash; and whole tournament &ndash; was played in fantastic spirit, with plenty of quality on show too, and showcased the indomitable fight, togetherness and camaraderie of our incredible Armed Forces.</p>
<h2>Congratulations (and commiserations) from Everyone at Carbon60</h2>
<p>Carbon60 have been avid supporters, sponsors, and partners of the military for many years, and we are proud to be part of the Inter Services story &ndash; in addition to many other military events, celebrations, and occasions.</p>
<p>Win, lose or draw, it is our honour to have our logo afront the shirts worn by the Royal Navy football team, and we would like to congratulate them &ndash; and the Army and RAF teams &ndash; for another incredible Inter Services championship this year.</p>
<p>Whilst the Navy&rsquo;s title defence sadly wasn&rsquo;t meant to be in 2025, we are already looking forward to supporting them in their battle to regain the trophy in 2026.</p>

As reigning Inter Services champions, the Royal Navy - sponsored by Carbon60 - were the team to beat in 2025.

Sponsorship Spotlight: Shock Inter Services Championship defeat for 2024 Champions

<p>At Carbon60 we&rsquo;ve always been proud of our close military connections. As one of our core market sectors, we&rsquo;ve continuously recognised the importance of being immersed in defence and have now partnered with the MOD on multiple&nbsp;<a href="https://www.carbon60global.com/find-a-job/aerospace-and-defence-jobs">projects</a>.</p>
<p>We&rsquo;ve also committed time and resources to our pioneering <a href="https://www.carbon60global.com/connect-mentoring">Connect Programme</a>, specifically designed to support actively serving military personnel (full-time and reserve) and the ex-services community. It&rsquo;s a free-of-charge mentoring programme we launched to help members of the forces, and their families, to navigate into work through one-on-one sessions on vital skills in preparation for carrying out job-searching tasks, like writing a CV or attending an interview.</p>
<p>But more than simply being a core sector of ours, Carbon60 benefits from such strong relationships with the forces, because we share so many of the same values. This is particularly true when comparing our own DNA with the RAF&rsquo;s - and that&rsquo;s just one of the reasons why we&rsquo;ve been honoured to act as a sponsor for the RAF&rsquo;s Ski Team for several years now.</p>
<h2><strong>On the slopes</strong></h2>
<p>The Royal Air Force Ski Team offers personnel the environment to train and compete in alpine disciplines at an elite level. Participation in this challenging sport develops many of the qualities in its athletes that are also required to succeed in the modern military. Such attributes include courage, determination, teamwork, and leadership - skills that we also seek and encourage in a service environment.</p>
<p>Team members commit to extensive training and lots of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.raf.mod.uk/display-teams/raf-music-services/news/on-the-slopes/">events and competitions</a>&nbsp;alongside their already demanding RAF roles. One particular highlight on the Ski Team calendar is the coveted RAF Championships, informally known as the &lsquo;Ski Champs&rsquo;. They take place annually (Covid restrictions permitting) in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Austria, and provide more than 800 RAF service men and women with the chance to compete in skiing and snowboarding.</p>
<p>Central to the success of the team is the Ski Team Manager who&rsquo;s responsible for the planning of five major overseas training camps and competitions each year, as well as managing a rigorous development and coaching programme and arranging other essential functions including sponsorship, safety, equipment, and logistics.</p>
<p>This crucial role used to be held by Bruno Wood, Carbon60&rsquo;s former Associate Director and Head of Government Services. Bruno now works with our sister company, Guidant, but continues to be the Ski Team Manager. But Carbon60 is delighted to continue to support the RAF Ski team because of our close links with the military and due to sport being such a key component in making our RAF a leading fighting force.</p>
<p>If there were any doubt in the importance of skiing to the RAF, or of sport in general to the military, Flight Lieutenant Claire Nixon and ladies&rsquo; ski team captain, explains: &ldquo;I&rsquo;m often asked, &ldquo;why does the RAF ski race?&rdquo;. For me it&rsquo;s simple. It inculcates the mindset and ethos required of a military aviator - an unwavering team spirit, mental courage, physical resilience, and technical excellence. I&rsquo;ve been a sportswoman since the age of four (gymnast, athlete, and rugby player), but have found ski racing unique in its ability to challenge and develop body and mind&hellip;.</p>
<p>&ldquo;A relative latecomer to skiing at age 20, I started my racing journey at the 2009 RAF Ski Championships&hellip;I soon became hooked and whilst not necessarily a natural racing &lsquo;star&rsquo;, my stubborn determination and limitless enthusiasm - combined with fabulous coaching - enabled me to make the RAF representative team in 2011.</p>
<p>&ldquo;After two seasons competing at this level, I was thrown in the deep end as captain&hellip;I have experienced the highs of being part of a winning team, the pure joy of watching grassroots racers achieve their goals on a word cup piste, and the delight of being part of the &lsquo;2018 RAF Team of the Year'. I&rsquo;ve also experienced the fear of standing at the top of a downhill race, the devastation of teammates&rsquo; injuries and the complexity of emotions associated with ski racing as a team event&hellip;</p>
<p>&ldquo;All of this has made me a more effective leader and aviator&hellip;I simply would not be where I am today without the opportunities afforded by this wonderful team.&rdquo;</p>
<h2><strong>Being the best&hellip;on and off-piste</strong></h2>
<p>With our own values include &ldquo;Collaborative&rdquo; which we define as &lsquo;working in partnership with others to achieve a shared goal,&rsquo; and &lsquo;Willingness to Learn&rsquo; described as &lsquo;future focused, inquisitive, open-minded and striving to be more than OK,&rsquo; there are numerous similarities between our principles and those of our military partners. And perhaps none more so than the RAF whose Ski Team&rsquo;s supportive yet competitive environment was created explicitly to encourage teamwork, dedication, and excellence.</p>
<p>The RAF lists its values as Respect, Integrity, Service and Excellence - ideologies that most definitely align with Carbon60&rsquo;s ethos. Moreover, the RAF describes its people as agile, adaptable, and capable (for creating an adaptable and capable organisation), and our own agility and flexibility are traits we demonstrate to our customers daily, not only to steer us through uncertain times such as the past couple of years but to provide tailored, adaptable solutions that work for our clients&rsquo; differing needs.</p>
<p>Carbon60 is proud to mirror the work ethic and morals of our military partners, and whilst not a military organisation we understand the importance of and owe many of our successes so far to great leadership, teamwork, and a supportive environment. We&rsquo;re certain that through living and breathing these shared values we will continue to strengthen the relationships we hold with the British Armed Forces throughout 2022 and beyond.</p>
<p>Nick Parker, Carbon60 Operations Director concludes, &ldquo;Carbon60 has been proud to sponsor the RAF Ski Team as part of our wider support for military sport for the past five years. We would like to wish all the participants the best of luck for your endeavours throughout 2022, and hope all of our military connections have a great year ahead.&rdquo;</p>

At Carbon60 we’ve always been proud of our close military connections. As one of our core market sectors, we’ve continuously recognised the importance of being immersed in defence and have now partnered with the MOD on multiple projects.
