Its corporate associate sponsors like this that creates value to event’s like the Fiji Bitter Marist 7s. They have been our partners now for three years in a row.
We are delighted to know that Pacific Energy who is strategically located all over Fiji shares the same values with us in promoting and engaging with grass roots consumers.
Majority of teams will walk away with $50 fuel vouchers and as majority of our teams have come from rural villages from all over Fiji, this is an added bonus to help them minimise their fuel travelling cost with their transport suppliers. It’s a great way of getting their Products into the hands of the people that matter the most and this is just another way the organising committee works to add values to teams and sponsors. Pacific Energy is a great Partner to promote grass roots Rugby.
As Pacific Energy continues to raise its level of service to engage with its customers and expand in Fiji with their new state of the art site in Laucala Beach Estate ,so does the Marist Rugby Club, as we get to engage more with our teams at grass root levels.
We are delighted and honoured to have an international brand leader in our own South Pacific like Pacific Energy, partner with us and we look forward to more corporate companies supporting us now and in the future.
This year’s event is shaping to be one of the best and most competitive with many new rural village teams coming into participate.
