Grassroots junior football team scores Jones Bros sponsorship7th Apr 2026
A junior football team is ready to tackle the new season after Jones Bros Civil Engineering UK delivered a timely assist by funding key equipment.
East Ayrshire outfit, Auchinleck Talbot 2017s Football Club, has utilised the contractor’s backing to secure away kits, consisting of shirts branded with the company logo, shorts, and socks for its 26 players, who are aged 8-9.
All squad members have also received a quarter zip sports fleece, with the team’s five coaches securing dedicated matchday tracksuits thanks to the sponsorship.
Jones Bros Health & Safety Advisor Shaun Gibney, whose son plays in the group, hailed the company’s backing.
He said: “The team is continuing to grow having progressed from five-a-side to seven-a-side games this March, so the support to purchase new kits for an increasing number of players has been brilliant.
“It’s fantastic to be able to give back to local grassroots sports clubs like this whenever possible and really demonstrates the Jones Bros ethos of leaving a lasting legacy.
“The youngsters are all enjoying the updated strip and quarter zips, which have them looking the part and feeling confident as they prepare to play against rival teams.”
The sponsorship opportunity came about after the club was approached by Jones Bros through Shaun. The firm is the principal contractor on the £400 million, 44-turbine Sanquhar II Wind Farm.
The arrival of the new kits follows a recent high-profile Scottish League Cup fixture against Celtic for the Auchinleck Talbot senior team.
Established in the 1950s, Jones Bros owns one of the largest plant fleets in the UK and employs approximately 550 people.
The company is currently working on contracts in various sectors including highways, flood and marine defence, reservoirs, waste management, and renewable energy around the UK.
The company runs an award-winning apprenticeship scheme, which has produced a large percentage of its current workforce, with several of its senior managers having started out as apprentices or in a trainee role. It has recruited hundreds of apprentices over the years.
