A charity golf day hosted by a Newbridge-based electronics manufacturer has raised £5,000 for the military support charity, Help for Heroes.

The Wales National Course at the Vale Resort golf club provided the location for annual event hosted by Axiom Manufacturing Services, which was attended by more than 70 of company’s clients, suppliers and business partners from across the UK to raise money for Help for Heroes.

The charity works to deliver an enduring national network of support for British service personnel who have been injured in the line of duty.

David Davies, managing director at Axiom Manufacturing said:

“At Axiom we work hard to ensure that every piece of life-saving technology we produce for the world’s leading cyber and defence customers exceeds the highest standards possible. But our hardest day can never compare to that faced by those who serve in our armed services. Sadly, too many in the military must make the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty.

“Help for Heroes stands as a lifeline to those who have made that sacrifice and it is our privilege to support this excellent organisation. While we can never thank veterans and their families enough for their service, I would like to thank all those who attended and participated in the valuable fundraising for their support.”
