Kent Proud Sponsors Of ANZ Netball Championships

Kent was proud to be associated with the Central Pulse v Waikato/Bay Of Plenty Magic netball game in Hamilton last week.

The game was a thrilling encounter and Kent Living had a strong presence at the game with hoardings court-side,a stand in the foyer along with social media live reports on its Facebook Page.

Kent-sponsored player Joline Henry played a huge role in the first half of the game and had a major impact on her team’s performance.

In the end result the Magic came out on top after trailing Pulse for most of the game.

Kent’s decision to become a sponsor of the ANZ Netball Championship was on the mark when witnessing the large crowd in attendance at the Claudelands Events Centre.

Kent fires have been keeping New Zealanders warm and cosy for over 30 years, and that tradition continues today under the proud ownership of Hamilton-based family firm, Aber Holdings Ltd.

“Kent are delighted to be enhancing New Zealand’s home advantage both on the court and at home as a new support sponsor of the ANZ Championship,” said managing director of Aber Holdings Ltd, Gregg Brown.

“This sponsorship offers us a national presence and Kent is a New Zealand-owned company with a Kiwi focus,” Mr Brown said. “It is a great fit for us – after all netball is a winter game and most of our business comes at the same time of the year.”

“We considered other sponsorships but believed that netball offered us the best value for money and it is an iconic brand with very loyal supporters which once again has a parallel with Kent’s model,” Mr Brown said.

Since its beginnings in the South Island, Kent has always been known for providing reliable, high quality, affordable wood fires for New Zealand households.

The Kent brand rapidly made a name for itself as an innovative wood burner through its excellent design and performance features, like its unique use of internal baffles to optimise the efficiency of the firebox. Kent also pioneered the “double burning principle” in domestic wood fires, increasing heating efficiency and dramatically reducing heating cost.
