Student Motorsport Founder and Managing Director John Paul Latham proudly accepted The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Wales Bronze Associate Supporter Certificate at Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd Production & Technology Centre, St Athan, Wales in June 2024.
We were joined by other supporters of the Duke of Edinburgh Award, who were invited to join DofE Wales for a special facility tour and to participate in their most recent Business meeting hosted at Aston Martin at their production plant in South Wales earlier in June.
John Paul Latham, Founder and Managing Director of Student Motorsport said – “We were absolutely thrilled to announce our exciting partnership with the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award back in March 2024 and have been making preparations to integrate the Award into our competition.
At Student Motorsport, we’re dedicated to fostering personal growth and development, and we’re eager to develop this collaborative venture with such a prestigious organisation.
Through the dynamic platform of motorsport and our supportive team environment, we aim to empower young people to excel and realise their full potential. Teaming up with the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award allows us to make a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of participants across Wales and the UK.
Thank you The Duke of Edinburgh Award Wales for allowing us to embed the Award into the Student Motorsport Challenge. We’ll be showcasing in the coming weeks how together we are assisting even more young people from marginalised backgrounds to take part in the programme.”
