DMC Conveyors, a vital long-term supporter of Central Coast Mariners, was rewarded on the eve of the new A-League seasons – as the Mariners Women front-of-shirt sponsor.
The club’s partnership with DMC Conveyors began in 2018 and during that time DMC has been a financial backer of both the Mariners men’s side and their academy.
Hence, this move to support the Mariners Women’s side means that DMC will have acted as a major benefactor for the club across all of its major sports programs.
DMC is a local business, and the partnership has been spearheaded by its founders Michael and Jennifer Dovey.
In the club’s press release, it citied the couple’s involvement in helping the Mariners fund and organise community focused events including the clubs Christmas Carols and annual New Years Eve Fireworks. The pair have also been quietly supporting other grassroots clubs in the Central Coast region.
It is apparent that DMC is a vital partner to the Mariners, and it is great to see the club reward an important on-going sponsor.
Central Coast Mariners CEO Shaun Mielekamp reflected the importance of DMC for the club and expressed their pride in having DMC feature so prominently with their Women’s side.
“We are moved by Michael and Jennifer’s commitment to the growth of women’s football here on the Coast. Their decision to continue this generous support for our Women’s team reflects their genuine passion for the sport and their belief in its potential to inspire and empower young athletes in our community,” he said via press release.
“This partnership is not just about football, but also a collaborative approach to the shared vision we have about building up and supporting the Central Coast Community. We are grateful and appreciative of DMC’s continued support, and we look forward to achieving great success together on and off the pitch.”
DMC Founder Michael Dovey expressed his firm’s pleasure at being featured and expressed their ongoing commitment to the Mariners both on and off the pitch.
“After six years with the Mariners and with DMC’s commitment to the club growing annually, the time felt right to become a major partner of the Central Coast Mariners leading into their return to the A-League Women’s competition,” he added via media release.
“After the success of the World Cup it is an extremely exciting time for Women’s football in Australia. DMC are pleased to be able to continue giving back to the Central Coast through our sponsorship of the Mariners, with it being amazing to have a professional women’s team back in the region.
“To have a clear pathway for young girls and women on the Coast is exciting. Heading into the team’s first season we want to see them not only compete, but also be successful and challenge, which we know will happen. To be able to help support the team through this sponsorship and other means is something that DMC are really proud of.”
This announcement on the eve of the new A-League season is a great sign that as the competition grows, where the league’s traditional and local sponsors will continue to feature in the game.
It is nice to see a local business be rewarded and this deal is sure to benefit not only the Mariners and DMC but also the wider community that both partners have been so keen to support historically.
