Newcastle Regional Show announces naming rights sponsorship deal with Regional Australia Bank
 
 
Newcastle Regional Show is pleased to welcome Regional Australia Bank as its naming rights partner for the next two years. 
 
The Newcastle Regional Show is one of the premier events of the Hunter events calendar. Showcasing everything from agriculture, technology and industry, to food, wine, fashion and local and national entertainment for all ages, it’s a 3 Day event that attracts attention from local, national and international visitors alike.
 
The Bank’s Regional Manager Ben Luck described the partnership as a great opportunity for the bank to demonstrate its dedication to the Newcastle community. “We’ve been committed to the needs of our regional customers for the last 50 years – and after recently opening an office in Newcastle, our new partnership with this iconic event is a major step forward in our efforts to support the local community.”
 
Visitors to next year’s Show will see an on-the-ground presence from Regional Australia Bank, where they can find out about the benefits of customer owned banking first-hand.
 
As Ben explains, “we are 100% customer owned, which means we give our profits back to our customers through competitive products, and to our communities through our various partnership programs, charitable efforts and sponsorships such as this one.”
 
The bank will sponsor the Newcastle Regional Show in 2019 and 2020, and for Ben, it’s a collaboration that fits perfectly with Regional Australia Bank’s ethos. “These events really showcase the rich culture and diversity of our local communities, while at the same time bringing people together and providing something that everyone can enjoy. With our focus on supporting regional prosperity, the Newcastle Regional Show is a great way to bring to life those community-focused aspirations we hold dear.”
 
Newcastle Regional Show General Manager, Brett Gleeson, said: “We’re proud to be involved with a bank that really champions regional causes, and the support of Regional Australia Bank will help the Show Association to further enhance next year’s show with new attractions and more entertainment.”
 
Set up specifically for regional Australians by regional Australians, Regional Australia Bank’s profits are delivered back to regional communities each and every year. Today the bank remains a 100% customer-owned institution that operates in the best interests of its customers.
  
As part of its commitment to the event, Regional Australia Bank also hopes to be able to offer some of its existing customer’s free passes in the run-up to the show’s opening.
 
Regional Australia Bank invites anyone interested in finding out more about the bank’s focus on relationships, community and regional interests to visit their stall during the event, contact them on 132 067 at any time, or visit www.regionalaustraliabank.com.au.
