Starship Technologies - the company behind the delivery robots in Milton Keynes - teams up with Sitting Bucks Volleyball Club

The delivery robot business is now providing sponsorship support to the Thame-based club, ensuring the team is kitted out in new training tops throughout this year’s competitions.

Daniel Bingley, coach of the Sitting Bucks, said: “As a wheelchair user, getting my food via Starship has been massively convenient. Life has gotten easier since the robots arrived in Milton Keynes and now they’re sponsoring my team.”

Henry Harris-Burland, VP of marketing at Starship Technologies, said: “We’re delighted to be supporting the Sitting Bucks. Being an active part of the local community in Milton Keynes and the wider Buckingham area is extremely important to Starship.”

The Sitting Bucks Volleyball club was founded in 2018 by Steve Smith, an established referee on the Sitting Volleyball circuit, with the support and encouragement of Richard Osborne, head coach of the UK Invictus Games Sitting Volleyball team.

The team is hoping this partnership with Starship is a good luck charm as they have their sights set on an upcoming friendly tournament in Copenhagen, Denmark as well as training up team members to earn a place in the squad for the next Invictus Games.
