As the 2023/24 season approaches, Milton Keynes Lightning is thrilled to announce the unwavering commitment of Smith Group, who will continue their steadfast support as our Official Ice Partner and Platinum Sponsor. Smith, as both Smith Recycling and Smith Construction, have been an integral partner since the redevelopment of the Milton Keynes rink in 2014, cementing their position as a fundamental force behind MKL’s success.
A pillar of the Milton Keynes community, Smith Construction Group has played an instrumental role in our journey, providing the stability and support essential to our club and MK ice hockey. Their recognisable branding will once again adorn the ice rink, our players’ jerseys, and the esteemed “Olivia” the Olympia ice resurfacing machine.
Reflecting on the partnership, John Banks, Director at Smith Construction Group, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We are thrilled to continue our support and partnership with MK Lightning this year. Our longstanding relationship fills us with immense pride, and we remain dedicated to standing by the club through every triumph and challenge. The preparations for this season promise an exhilarating year ahead. Best of luck to the team and staff!”
Tom Roberts of MKL also shared his gratitude for Smith Construction Group’s ongoing commitment, saying, “Smith Construction Group continues to be an incredible supporter of MK Lightning. Their reputation extends far beyond Milton Keynes, and it’s an absolute pleasure to collaborate with John and his team once again this year. Smith Construction Group plays an essential role in shaping the area’s civil engineering and development projects. Spotting a Smith’s skip around town never fails to bring a smile. Thank you for your unwavering support!”
