Hertz Australia has signed a key sponsorship
agreement with the Melbourne Football Club, coinciding with the
inaugural Jim Stynes Tribute Game, to be played this Sunday, 22
April, against the Western Bulldogs at the Melbourne Cricket
Ground.
The deal renews a partnership between Hertz and
Melbourne dating back to the mid 1980s, soon after Jim Stynes
joined Melbourne as one of the first Australian Rules recruits
from Ireland.
“Melbourne became the first Australian Rules
club when it was formed in 1858, and Hertz invented car rental in
1918,” said Chris Rusden, Region Vice President, Managing Director
Australasia of Hertz. “It is only fitting that two pioneers in
their respective fields join together in a mutually beneficial
partnership.
Melbourne Football Club President Don McLardy
added, “We are rapt to welcome Hertz back to the Melbourne Football
Club family. Jim Stynes was actually wearing a Melbourne jumper
with a Hertz logo on it in his very first training run with the
club back in 1984. For Hertz to be back with the club as we
celebrate Jim’s life this weekend couldn’t be more fitting. I know
our members and supporters will support Hertz the same way it has
supported us”
