When his local squadron reached out for support, Lee, a Corporate Sales Manager at Currys Business, didn’t hesitate to get involved. Wanting to understand their needs properly, he arranged a visit to see how he could help. It quickly became clear that the squadron needed guidance on navigating the world of technology - from identifying the right equipment, to understanding what would offer the best value and long-term benefit for cadets.

“I was truly inspired to see more than 20 young teenagers actively engaged in a safe and supportive environment. They were learning new skills, guided by a dedicated team of adult volunteers who generously give up their time to make this possible.”
Lee Sharp, Corporate Sales Manager, Currys Business

Realising that many squadrons across the RAF Air Cadets face similar challenges, Lee approached the Air Cadet Charity to explore how he and Currys Business could offer wider support. We are delighted that he has chosen to work with us to help more units access reliable, appropriate and cost-effective technology.

Lee is generously offering his time and expertise to any squadron seeking advice. This includes helping units understand what tech they actually need, suggesting suitable equipment options, and recommending solutions and products Currys Business can provide.

“I believe nothing is more important than giving our children the best opportunities to grow into adult life, equipped with real-world skills, positive behaviours, and the confidence to pursue meaningful careers. The Air Cadets provide exactly this - and more.”
Lee Sharp, Corporate Sales Manager, Currys Business

Lee is committed to doing everything he can to secure the best possible value for each squadron and ensure they receive equipment that truly meets their requirements.

Lee says whether it’s flight simulator equipment, tech solutions, televisions, or even catering equipment - as the UK’s largest electrical retailer, offering of over 30,000 products, Currys Business can provide the right solutions to meet every squadron’s requirements.

“By extending Currys Business support to squadrons across the UK, I aim to help them utilise their resources effectively to provide the world-class environment of support, safety, inclusion, and learning that every young person deserves.”

It is inspiring to work with someone so passionate about supporting the RAFAC organisation and improving opportunities for young people. His proactive approach and genuine enthusiasm reflect the positive impact that corporate partners can have when they choose to invest in the next generation.

We would be delighted to welcome further support from companies who share this vision and want to play a role in empowering young people across the RAF Air Cadets.
