Orbit Logistics managing director Glenn Allison says he has a special connection to the club, having spent a lot of time at Arden Street Oval as a child with his father, Jim Allison, who served as a team manager for the club in the ’60s and ’70s.
“Orbit Logistics proudly supports local sporting clubs at all levels, and this is a great opportunity for our organisation to align with a respected club like North Melbourne and its passionate fans,” Glenn says.
“We see the alignment with North Melbourne as an important vehicle to drive further growth for our business and to provide Orbit Logistics with national exposure.”
North Melbourne CCO Orry Lack says it is a pleasure to welcome Orbit Logistics as an official partner.
“It’s great to have a company like Orbit Logistics on board for both our men’s and women’s programs,” he says.
“I love the fact the Allison family has such deep connections with the Club and to now proudly see the Orbit Logistics brand on Arden Street Oval and at Marvel Stadium – it is a great example of bringing passion and business objectives together.
“We’re looking forward to seeing what the partnership can achieve for this strong alignment.”
