The STS Defence team will be riding alongside colleagues from their parent and sister companies Cicor and Axis Electronics, in support of their chosen 2026 charity - the British Heart Foundation.

“It’s great to be taking part in the Extra Mile Challenge once again, especially in support of a cause that has such a positive impact in our local community, and we’re incredibly proud of our team members who’ve stepped forward to take on this challenge,” said Managing Director Ben Stancliffe.
