Meet the Mission Motorsport Team

Mission Motorsport is run by by a team of professionals - with a combined military service of over 150 years between them. We’ve a unique mix of industry, commercial, recruitment, coaching, mentoring and instructional experience but with a common thread of really, properly caring about those whose lives have been affected by military service.

Having served 17 years in the Royal Tank Regiment, he returned from his last tour of Afghanistan in 2011 determined to help those whose lives he had seen impacted by military service. A Grade A race instructor, his enthusiasm and vision - to harness the power of sport for wider good - drives the organisation to this day. His determination to put duty of care for those in need first, sets the tone for everything that the charity does. Rather than talk about PTSD his is a story of Post Traumatic Growth, and he works hard to promote the same in others.

Jonny’s civilian career has seen him run campaigns at every level of government and across the veterans’ sector including project managing Deloitte’s Veterans Work campaign and as a consultant to Defence charities. Vitally, his experience from the time he led an MOD’s employer relationship management team has meant that he has become a trusted networker within the armed forces community. His lengthy Army Reservist service includes operational tours of Northern Ireland and Afghanistan. In 2013, following a tour of Afghanistan the previous year, he was awarded a Commander Land Forces’ Commendation for his work as a Pashto Linguist and Intelligence Analyst. This resume of political experience, veterans affairs knowledge and military service places Jonny in a unique position as the UK’s pioneer of transferable military skills to wider UK civil society. He has been the Reserve Forces Reserve Mentor on Reservist Mental Health at the MOD, work that helped extend the offer of ‘Op Courage’ to the Reservist community, and is host of ‘Veterans In Politics’ podcast, interviewing veterans from across the globe who have ‘stood up to serve again.’ In 2023, he was selected for Team UK for the Invictus Games as part of his own recovery journey through sport.
