The Collingwood Football Club is pleased to announce that Australia’s number one automotive parts retailer, Autobarn, has recommitted to the club in a two-year partnership that extends their current alignment with the club until the end of season 2012.
Collingwood and Autobarn share highly successful cultures. The Magpies aim to build on the 2010 premiership triumph, while Autobarn this year celebrated the company's 25th Anniversary, and with 100 stores across the Eastern seaboard, continues to provide exceptional customer service and quality products.
As Collingwood prepares for another great year, Autobarn, through the Magpies’ Members Benefits program, will offer members exclusive offers and keep members notified of special events.
Collingwood is excited to further build on its successful long-term partnership with owner Garry Dumbrell, and continue its alliance with one of Australia’s leading and most well-known brands - Autobarn.
“Collingwood is excited that our partnership with Autobarn not only assists Autobarn in driving consumer and trade incentives to further cement their number one status as a leader in retailing automotive parts, but through Autobarn’s generosity our members will receive further benefits via exclusive offers and benefits provided by Autobarn," said Collingwood President Eddie McGuire. “I am delighted that Autobarn has recommitted to the Club and look forward to a long and prosperous partnership with them."
In the coming years Autobarn stores will continuously grow in numbers and retail space. Planned new stores and the relocation of existing stores to larger premises will see Autobarn stay on top as part of Australia’s largest automotive franchise retailer of Automotive Aftermarket Accessories.
Autobarn CEO, Paul Dumbrell, said “Our experience with Collingwood in 2010 was fantastic and capped off with a fantastic Premiership win. However, the benefits in aligning with Australia’s leading sporting club and the benefits we gained throughout the year ensured this partnership was going to be long-standing regardless of final result.
“Being number one in TV ratings, crowd attendance and membership are strong reasons we want to align ourselves with the club. Winning the Premiership certainly capped off an outstanding year - and we look forward to taking the journey with the players, members and club again in 2011 and beyond.
“Autobarn sets itself apart from our opposition with levels of customer service and the mentality that ‘the person who owns the store runs the store’. This enables us to deliver the customer service you would deserve and expect as a valued Autobarn customer," Dumbrell added.
