Leading rental car company Budget gets behind Phoenix men’s and women’s teams

Leading rental car company Budget New Zealand have joined the Wellington Phoenix family of premium partners, committing to support the men’s and women’s teams for the current A-League season and beyond.

The partnership will see the Budget brand feature prominently on the back of the men and women’s playing shorts for the next three years.

The Budget brand made its debut on the back left of the women’s shorts for their historic opening round match against Melbourne City in November and will remain there for the rest of their first Liberty A-League season in Wellington.

Budget, which has a network of more than 40 locations in New Zealand, is also a back-of-short sponsor for the Phoenix men.

Budget’s Lee Marshall: ‘Thrilled to get behind the teams’

Lee Marshall, General Manager of Budget New Zealand, says Budget is thrilled to partner with the Wellington Phoenix.

“When it comes to New Zealand sports teams, the Phoenix men and women are two of the best,” Marshall said.

“They demonstrate determination, teamwork and high performance, many of the beliefs and values that also drive us.

“We will be backing the teams over the next couple of years and look forward to bringing fun and excitement to not only their loyal fan base in Wellington but Kiwi sports lovers across the country.”

Phoenix GM David Dome: ‘Great to have them on board’

Wellington Phoenix general manager David Dome has welcomed Budget to the club’s family of commercial partners.

“Budget New Zealand is the latest blue chip company to show their support for the Phoenix,” Dome said.

“The Budget brand has a reputation for excellence and value across the globe and it’s great to have them on board as a club partner.

“We look forward to working with their teams in Wellington and around Aotearoa over the coming years.”
