SPONSORSHIP
EFI International is proud sponsor and manager of world champion cyclists Kerrie and Anna Meares.
On 31 March 2007, Anna shaved more than three- tenths of a second off her old world record in the 500 m time trial to win Australia’s first gold medal of the world titles in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. She then backed up this stunning performance a few minutes later to win bronze in the sprint.
Anna and Kerrie Meares
“The support we’ve received from EFI International has been extraordinary, and I’m sure its efforts on our behalf and, in particular, those of Dr Francine Pinnuck, have contributed to our success.
“The select sponsorship deals secured from the National Australia Bank (NAB), Holmesglen Institute and Anglo Coal have made all the difference in helping us win in the past and in our preparation for the Olympics in Beijing in 2008.
“Thanks Francine and the team at EFI International, we really appreciate everything you’ve done in helping us bring home gold.”
To NAB . . .
“You are such a great support and it gives me great pride to wear the NAB logo on my ‘skins’, which I did in Sydney when I broke the world record at the Worlds, when I wanted to shout ‘thanks NAB’.”
Anna
To Holmesglen TAFE . . .
“We really think Holmesglen is such a forward thinking, innovative and progressive Institute, which has the right mix of education. Its leadership group is completely in tune with the needs of the students, the community and business. We are real Holmesglen fans.”
Kerrie
“I will never forget my father’s words when I won the gold medal and broke the world record in the 500 metres at the Athens Olympics: ‘Anna don’t forget you are a coal miner’s daughter’.
”We are proud to be coal miner’s daughters and it gives us great pride in being sponsored by Anglo Coal, a great mining company that puts safety before business. And they also give back to the community, which is really important both to business and sport
.“Anglo Coal’s sponsorship is another reason why Kerrie and I won’t—and indeed don’t want to—forget where we come from.”
