Ilkeston Ninjas U12’s Football Sponsorship

Johnsons Aggregates & Recycling are delighted to announce their continued sponsorship of the Ilkeston Ninjas football team, supporting the next generation of footballers. The sponsorship will see Johnsons’ supporting the U12’s football team.

Lewis Johnson, CEO, Johnsons Aggregates & Recycling, said, “We’re delighted to continue with Ilkeston Ninjas in the support of the u12’s. We’re locally based in the town of Ilkeston and pride ourselves on the development of new people coming into our business, so this fits very well with what we’re trying to achieve. We look forward to getting behind the players and our county for years to come.”

Panlop Butler, Ilkeston Ninjas U12s coach,  said, “We would like to share our thanks and appreciation to our sponsors Johnsons Aggregates and Recycling and CEO Lewis Johnson. Without their support for the 2024/25 season it would not have been possible for us to continue. But their initial sponsorship allowed us to get the ninjas fully kitted up and support our community through volunteering in the local community.” 

“We have recently secured funding for the 2025/2026 season, which will allow us to purchase more kits, training equipment and fund new coaches through their qualifications as our squad grows into 11 vs11. Myself, my coaching staff and the ninjas themselves would like to extend our gratitude to Lewis and the whole of Johnson's team who have supported our values, vision and journey through grassroots football.”

Through our social value commitments, we are making a positive impact on the communities in which we operate. Over and above our environmental responsibilities, we are acutely aware that we have the ability both to realise value in our own operations and also support our supply chain, customers and other stakeholders in wider value creation.
