ATEC has lent its support to its client Valero by acting as a Partner Sponsor for the Valero Benefit for Children Classic 2023. This is the tenth anniversary of the charitable event and the second that ATEC has sponsored. ATEC works with Valero to ensure its security infrastructure meets its regulatory requirements across all of its 18 oil refinery and terminal sites in the UK and Ireland.

The charitable event took place at Celtic Manor Resort and included golf and karting challenges as well as a festival evening to celebrate the tenth anniversary. To mark the anniversary, Valero was aiming to take the total amount donated over the decade above £2 million – an aim that was achieved thanks to the support of sponsors like ATEC.
