Newly branded Industree Group Stadium to stage calendar of sporting events

The newly branded Industree Group Stadium on the NSW Central Coast has staged its first fixture this week, hosting an international women’s football friendly between the CommBank Matildas and Thailand.

Welcoming the brand’s association with the leading regional venue, Industree Group Chief Executive, Jon Fleming commented “to kick off this exciting new partnership with a Matildas match at Industree Group Stadium in front of a large crowd was something very special indeed.

“To be able to contribute back into the local community where our head office is based and many of our staff and their families live, is a fantastic opportunity and one that we are very passionate about evolving for the benefit of the community.”

As a Central Coast-based company operating and distributing successfully at a multi-national level, Industree Group owners Jason Stenning, Melanie Stenning and Jon Fleming have marked 15 years of operation this year.

Industree Group Stadium Venue Manager Kath Casey is delighted that a local Central Coast company with a multi-national presence has invested significantly into the naming rights partnership.

Casey noted “Industree Group Stadium is the people’s stadium on the Central Coast and this naming rights partnership is all about investing in the future and success of our region.

“Industree Group is one of the great business success stories here on the Central Coast and this partnership will enable us to deliver on our commitment to bring the best events to our region, drive local tourism and business, and deliver the best possible event experience for the fans at our beautiful Stadium.”

Central Coast Council Administrator Rik Hart has welcomed the support of the Industree Group as the new official naming rights sponsor for the venue, adding “this commitment from a Central Coast business is wonderful to see and is a sign of confidence in the Stadium’s ability to be able to host big events.

“Council’s aim is to be able to deliver and support high-quality events on the Coast, which will help boost business and visitation, as well as bring the community together.”
