Valarian joins the team

Team Forces is delighted to welcome Valarian as a Platinum Sponsor, providing significant support to help enable opportunities for the Armed Forces community through sport, challenge and adventure.

Valarian’s support will help Team Forces enable a diverse range of opportunities for serving personnel, veterans and their families – from supporting Lexi Chambers and her ambitious 5,000km wheelchair journey across America in 2027, to backing E-sports and Armed Forces Winter Sports, alongside a broad range of other Armed Forces sports, expeditions and challenges.

Maj Gen Lamont Kirkland CBE, CEO of Team Forces, said: “We are delighted to welcome Valarian to Team Forces as a Platinum Sponsor. Their support will make a real difference to the breadth and range of opportunities we can enable across the Armed Forces community. From elite and representative sport to adventurous challenges and emerging areas such as E-sports, Valarian is helping us support people to challenge themselves, build confidence and resilience, and improve their wellbeing.”

Valarian is a London-based British technology company building sovereign intelligence and secure infrastructure for high-consequence systems across government and defence. It deploys the latest AI capability for use in sensitive intelligence and operational environments, while enabling organisations to retain control of their data, systems, and AI workloads.

Valarian’s support for Team Forces reflects a shared commitment to resilience, innovation and the people who serve. As a Platinum Sponsor, Valarian is helping Team Forces enable opportunities across a broad spectrum of activities, ensuring that individuals and teams across the Armed Forces community can access sport, challenge and adventure.

Max Buchan, co-founder and CEO of Valarian, said: “Valarian are proud to support Team Forces. We are proud of our relationship with the UK Armed Forces, the veteran community, and their families. Team Forces’ vital work in creating opportunities across the community perfectly aligns with our mission at Valarian to support and empower British talent. We are thrilled to support ultra-endurance athlete Lexi Chambers, a veteran and ex-NHS nurse, on her inspiring journey across the US, and the BFBS esports Pro League, as a great forum for emerging tech talent in Defence.”

Valarian is backing Lexi Chambers, who is working with Team Forces and a growing group of partners, as she prepares for her 5,000km wheelchair journey across America in 2027 – an extraordinary challenge that pushes boundaries and demonstrates what is possible through determination and resilience. Valarian’s support also extends to e-sports and Armed Forces Winter Sports, contributing to the wider work of Team Forces in enabling sport, expeditions and challenges that promote teamwork, personal development, resilience and wellbeing.

Team Forces is proud to welcome Valarian to its network of corporate partners and looks forward to the impact their support will have across the Armed Forces community. Together, we can help more people challenge themselves, achieve more than they thought possible and thrive through the power of sport, challenge and adventure.

Thank you, Valarian, for helping us make these opportunities possible
