Crown Highways has become the first patron of the Aston Villa Foundation’s newly launched Founders Club. The move strengthens Crown’s commitment to social value across Birmingham and communities near Villa Park.
The Founders Club unites businesses and individuals aiming to make a lasting positive impact around Villa Park and wider Birmingham. It supports the Foundation’s range of programmes that enrich lives and create opportunities for local people.
Community support beyond the network
Crown Highways delivers highways projects but its commitment reaches further. The company views supporting communities and creating social value as integral to its business. Becoming the first Founders Club patron aligns with this long-standing approach.
The Aston Villa Foundation runs initiatives focused on education, health, and skills development for local people. The Founders Club offers a platform for businesses and individuals to collaborate and back these projects.
Collaboration for positive outcomes
Crown sees partnership as key to driving meaningful change. By working alongside the Aston Villa Foundation and others with similar aims, the company aims to support outcomes that benefit the community.
Steve Jones, Chairman of Crown Highways, said: “Supporting the communities around us has always been important to Crown. We want the impact we make to go beyond the work we deliver on the network, creating opportunities and benefits that make a genuine difference to local people.”
He added: “The Aston Villa Foundation is already doing fantastic work across Birmingham and the surrounding communities, and we’re proud to support that work and be part of the Founders Club from the very beginning.”
