The Collingwood Football Club is delighted to announce it has entered into a partnership with United Petroleum, which will see the company become a major partner of the club and its new match-day ball sponsor for the next three seasons.
United Petroleum branding will feature on all match balls used during Collingwood home games from the 2015 season onwards, while signage will feature prominently when the club stages matches at the MCG.
An Australian owned petrol company, United Petroleum specialises in the retail and wholesale fuel markets, convenience stores and ethanol manufacturing.
One of the fastest growing independent companies in the nation, United Petroleum generates employment for more than 2,500 Australians, and is committed to providing premium quality fuel and competitive pricing across the country.
Collingwood Chief Executive Officer Gary Pert said: “We are pleased to announce our partnership with United Petroleum, which as an Australian-owned company, has defied the competition to become a major force in the fuel and convenience industry.
“We are also very excited by the opportunities the partnership with United Petroleum will bring Collingwood, its members and supporters”.
United Petroleum Chief Operating Officer David Szymczak said: “United Petroleum is proud to be Collingwood’s major partner, and looks forward to a long association with the club.
“This is a great opportunity for United to reinforce and grow its brand with a club that is also a great Australian success story.
“Additionally, we recognise the value in rewarding the loyal Collingwood members and have plans for innovative offers and rewards. We continue to grow and are very proud to align ourselves with a club and a game that is also committed to innovation and excellence.”
Collingwood captain Scott Pendlebury, United Petroleum Chief Operating Officer David Szymczak and Collingwood CEO Gary Pert announced the new partnership between Collingwood and United Petroleum on Tuesday afternoon.
