Milton Keynes Lightning are delighted to announce that Cadet Forces Medal Mounting (CFMmounting) has renewed its sponsorship of defenceman Ed Knaggs for the 2026/27 season, continuing a partnership that has become a familiar part of the club’s sponsorship family. CFMmounting has supported Knaggs for multiple seasons and remains a valued supporter of both the player and the club.

Based locally, Cadet Forces Medal Mounting provides specialist medal mounting services for military personnel, veterans, Blue Light Services and Cadet Forces, earning a strong reputation for quality workmanship and attention to detail. The business offers a range of services including full-size and miniature medal mounting, replica medals, ribbon fitting and medal cleaning.

The sponsorship follows a memorable year for owner James, whose dedication to the cadet movement was recognised at the highest level. Earlier this summer, James was invited to a Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace in recognition of his contribution and service, making the continued partnership with the Lightning even more special.

James Tye, owner of Cadet Forces Medal Mounting said:

“We are thrilled to continue our sponsorship of Ed for a third season, Ed exemplifies the qualities of commitment, discipline, and resilience that resonate strongly with our business and our customers. We have enjoyed over the partnership over the last two seasons and look forward to supporting him throughout another exciting campaign with Milton Keynes Lightning.”

Milton Keynes Lightning would like to thank James for his continued support. Partnerships such as these are vital to the success of the club, and we are thrilled that supporters will once again see the CFMmounting logo proudly associated with #25 Ed Knaggs as the team prepares for the new campaign.
