It is with great excitement that we are welcoming ProBuild ITM onboard for the 2024 season as the official naming rights partner of the Mainland Pouākai!
“The Mainland Pouākai and Tauihi Basketball Aotearoa are on a transformation mission to create pathway opportunities for women’s basketball in New Zealand,” said Pouākai General Manager Caleb Harrison.
“To be able to have the support of such a strong national brand like ProBuild ITM allows for longer term strategic alignment & consistency to be able to achieve what we have set out to do.”
In offering an extensive range of building products, ProBuild ITM knows a thing or two about setting sturdy foundations off the court, and their support allows the Pouākai to continue building ours on it.
“Probuild ITM is excited to be joining forces and become the naming rights partner of the Mainland Pouākai,” added Scott Beckingsale, ProBuild ITM Business Development Manager.
“We are passionate about our partnership with the [Canterbury] Rams and have loved being part of the organisation. At Probuild ITM, we feel the timing is right to further extend that support and jump on board with the Pouākai.”
“We’re looking forward to watching the league and women’s sport in NZ grow and develop in a professional manner, and are proud to be assisting to create pathways for women and young girls to reach and achieve their sporting goals.”
“Probuild wishes the Pouākai all the best for the season ahead and look forward to being courtside to watch the action.”
Harrison spoke to ProBuild ITM’s history of community support, saying, “Scott and his team at ProBuild ITM are massive supporters of the community and we couldn’t see a more fitting naming rights partner for the Mainland Pouākai”.
You can catch the ProBuild ITM Mainland Pouākai in action this Saturday against the Whai, live on Sky Sport 2.
