SRB announces Hagley Oval Members Marquee sponsorship deal
SRB has announced a 3-year sponsorship of the Hagley Oval Members Marquee in Christchurch.
Known for involvement and support of various sports, particularly cricket, Managing Partner Jonathan Gillard says “Here at SRB we are excited to be partnering with the Canterbury Cricket Trust (“Cricket Trust”) and Hagley Oval. It is one of the premier cricketing and sporting venues in New Zealand and as a proud Canterbury law firm it’s important to us to be involved with an organisation which showcases the best of our region to the world. Christchurch is emerging as a leading New Zealand venue for hosting world class sporting events and we are proud to be playing our part”.
Lee Robinson (SRB Partner with a long standing “Cricket Trust” association) explains that with exclusive naming rights of the Members Marquee area for all international matches and domestic Super Smash games, including the highly anticipated Blackcaps v Australia Test Match in March, this sponsorship is an opportunity not only to align the firm (and brand) with a successful and well-known venue in the region, but also to be part of the enhancement and renewal, vibrancy and attractiveness of our city. He notes with TVNZ as the new broadcast partner for New Zealand Cricket, matches at Hagley Oval will be seen all over New Zealand and the world. “We are very excited about the opportunities this sponsorship presents for both our firm and Christchurch over the next 3 years”.
