I'll wait for the official announcement just in case there's more but it will be a bit disappointing if all the announcement is is Signet being named as our media polo sponsor which we already knew.
Richmond has received an off-field boost ahead of the 2011 season, joining forces with Australian packaging manufacturer and distributor Signet.
The Signet logo will appear on the sleeve of Richmond’s official media polo for the next three years.
Richmond CEO Brendon Gale described the new partnership with Signet as an important decision, as the Club continues to build strength on and off the field.
“Like Richmond, Signet is a strong brand, committed to growing its business and becoming a leader in its field,” he said.
“Richmond is an evolving Club, relentless in its pursuit of success, and this partnership is another step in the right direction.”
Established in 1968, Signet is an Australian market leader and has long manufactured and distributed packaging and consumable products to a wide range of industries including construction, mining, education, sporting, office and healthcare.
Signet CEO Mark Brennan said: “We are both very similar in the way we conduct our business and the passion behind our brands, as Richmond looks to once again become a dominant force in the AFL, Signet is excited to be able to grow with them.”
“This marks a very exciting time for us as we look to significantly increase our market share across our various departments and launch our consumer division,” Brennan said.
“2011 is looking to be a great year as we continue to improve on our award-winning service and engage new clients in new and exciting markets.”
Richmond’s partnership with Signet follows the recent announcement that ME Bank is the new naming rights sponsor of Punt Road Oval’s brand new training and administration base, and that KooGa is the Club’s new apparel sponsor.
