Border Ecosse Car Club achieves Motorsport UK Sustainability Accreditation

Border Ecosse Car Club is one of the first clubs in the country to be awarded the Motorsport UK Sustainability Accreditation — a recognition of the club’s ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility.

This accreditation highlights the practical steps the club is taking to reduce its environmental impact and promote more sustainable practices within motorsport. With sustainability now a major global concern, Border Ecosse Car Club recognises the importance of playing its part in addressing environmental challenges.

By achieving this accreditation, the club aims to set a positive example for others and help ensure the long-term future of motorsport in Scotland. It also reflects the club’s desire to be seen as a responsible and forward-thinking organisation — both within the motorsport community and by the wider public.

Jon went on his first rally at the age of 5 when his uncle was marshalling the Cropton Forest stage on the Lombard RAC Rally. That was in the days of Roger Clark and the all-conquering Escorts. The sounds and smells of rally cars have never lost their appeal. As an adult, working on an ambulance crew covering Cadwell Park in the mid 90s, he frequently encountered drivers who had come to an abrupt stop somewhat sooner than they had anticipated.

He is a licenced rescue team member and Motorsport UK Trainer and Rescue Trainer. He sits on Motorsport UK's Rescue and Recovery Sub Committee, as well as being a member of Motorsport UK's national training team for Safeguarding.

He is a STEM Ambassador, and a Scottish Regional and UK National Judge for F1 in Schools, a not-for-profit social enterprise aiming to change the perception of STEM-related subjects through global competition.
