Nova Energy, one of New Zealand-s fastest growing energy companies, is the latest sponsor of the Wellington Phoenix Football Club.

The sponsorship agreement will give Nova Energy exclusive rights to the back of the team-s playing shirts, training gear and player travelling bags.

In announcing the two-year deal, which has a two-year right of renewal, Welnix chairman Rob Morrison said he was delighted the company wanted to join forces with the Phoenix.

“It shows that the club is moving forward in the way we envisaged,” Morrison said.
“From the outset our strategy has focussed on developing a sustainable business model.

“To achieve that goal we need sponsors along with the great fan support the Phoenix enjoys, access to grass roots football and the capital provided by Welnix.

“The fact that Nova Energy is joining the Phoenix family is a positive endorsement of what we are trying to achieve.”

Nova Energy chief executive Babu Bahirathan said his company was excited about the partnership.

“The Wellington Phoenix has a strong brand and is one of New Zealand-s great sporting properties,” Bahirathan said

“Nova Energy is one of New Zealand-s best kept energy secrets and we want to build our profile and we believe the Phoenix can help us do this.

“We very much see this as a partnership. While Nova Energy will sponsor the back of the shirt we are keen to do a lot more than that.

“We want to work with the club and Wellington Phoenix members in a very real way which will benefit everyone.-

Nova Energy Chief Executive Officer Babu Bahirathan today welcomed a sponsorship deal that Nova Energy has agreed with the Wellington Phoenix Football Club.

Mr Bahirathan said he was excited about the partnership as it represented a significant opportunity to raise the profile of Nova Energy, NZ-s fastest growing energy supplier.

‘The Wellington Phoenix is a relative newcomer to the demanding A-League football competition, but the club has demonstrated that it can match it with its Australian rivals. The Phoenix has developed a strong national profile.

“Nova is delighted to be associated with the club as it continues to achieve good results on the pitch and growing interest off it.”

Nova Energy is a New Zealand owned and operated energy company, and unique in offering a total range of energy solutions including natural gas, electricity, LPG and solar.

Mr Bahirathan said that Nova Energy-s name on the back of the Phoenix shirt will be the most visible marker of the relationship.

“But there will be a lot more than that to our association with the Phoenix. Nova Energy wants to work with the club on a number of levels, in ways that brings benefits to both partners.”
