Hot off the press is the news that PILA have just signed the contract to be the preferred supplier of goal posts to the AFL in New South Wales and the ACT. This is extremely exciting news for PILA as they have been hot on the heels of AFL (NSW/ACT) for a few years now and it is great to see that all the hard work has paid off.
During the 2011 calendar year, PILA will work in partnership with AFL (NSW/ACT) and upgrade many clubs and schools with new goal posts and related facilities and see the sport grow even further in the state of NSW and in the ACT. Being able to offer a variation of product types including specified AFL sizing in both fibreglass and aluminium materials, PILA was deemed to be the logical choice for AFL (NSW/ACT). Shortly after the new agreement was signed, Facilities Manager at AFL (NSW/ACT), Joseph La Posta, had this to say.
“AFL (NSW/ACT) is delighted to announce that PILA Group has been awarded the AFL’s 2010/2011 Goal Post Contract for New South Wales and the ACT. We are very appreciative of the time that PILA has taken to present their services and ultimately secure our contract for the coming year. The range of products on offer, coupled with their competitive pricing has swayed us to join the Sydney based company. We look forward to working in partnership with PILA to deliver a record number of goal post sets to our community AFL clubs and schools throughout NSW & ACT. Joseph La Posta – Facilities Manager AFL (NSW/ACT)”
Likewise, PILA’s National Sales & Marketing Manager, Michael Reid, was equally delighted with the new signing saying “we (PILA group) are thrilled to be awarded the AFL’s 2010/2011 Goal Post Contract for New South Wales and the ACT. Over the past few years, we have been working extremely hard on refining and further developing our AFL goal post range and it is fantastic to see that this has been rewarded by this exciting new partnership with AFL (NSW/ACT). With the AFL just launching a brand new club in Western Sydney, this couldn’t have come at a better time for our company and it is an honour to be involved at the start of a new era for the sport in NSW and the ACT. We bring to the table twice as many options than seen in previous years through the introduction of our superior fibreglass posts coupled with the ever popular aluminium range. Knowing that AFL (NSW/ACT) places a huge emphasis on grass roots football, it will be an extremely busy 12 months and all of us at PILA group cannot wait to get cracking and start fitting out as many clubs and schools throughout the state with our range of goal posts. Michael Reid – National Sales & Marketing Manager.”
The future of AFL in NSW, ACT and with PILA looks bright and healthy and through this new partnership it is set to be a big year in goal post supply. http://www.pilagroup.com.au/afl-goal-posts/
