Central Coast Stadium has a new name, with locally-based Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) manufacturing and distribution company Industree Group being named the official naming rights partner in November.
The stadium is now to be known as Industree Group Stadium.
Industree Group CEO Jon Fleming said the company was excited by the announcement.
“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,” he said.
Operating and distributing successfully at a multi-national level, Industree Group owners Jason Stenning, Melanie Stenning and Jon Fleming celebrate their 15th year of operation this year.
“Securing the naming rights of such an iconic local Central Coast asset now adds another really positive layer to our 15-year anniversary celebrations,” Co-Founder and Managing Director Jason Stenning said.
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.
“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,” she said.
“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.
“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,” he said.
“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.”
As the Industree Group Stadium events calendar continues to grow, the Central Coast Mariners have locked in at least 12 A-League Men’s home games per season and all women’s home matches at the Stadium through until at least 2025/26.
The Mariners will field a team in the A-League Women’s competition from next season – creating further pathways for young footballers on the Central Coast, with Industree Group already making a commitment of support to the new team over and above the new stadium naming rights deal.
The Sydney Roosters have confirmed they will be bringing their Round 14 Sunday afternoon NRL blockbuster against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs to Industree Group Stadium on Sunday June 4.
The Sydney Roosters and the South Sydney Rabbitohs will both host 2023 NRL Pre-Season Challenge matches at Industree Group Stadium as part of two big double-headers on Fridays February 10 and 17, which will also feature the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, Newcastle Knights, Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles and 2022 NRL Grand Finalists, the Parramatta Eels.
Industree Group Stadium is operated by leading event and venue management company VenuesLive on behalf of Central Coast Council.
