    Default TFH is 2018 sponsor

    Graham Annesley confident Titans will have new sponsor by start of 2018 NRL season

    GOLD Coast boss Graham Annesley is adamant the Titans will enter the 2018 NRL season with the backing of a major sponsor.

    The Titans hit the training paddock this week wearing kits devoid of a major sponsor’s logo following the withdrawal of development giant Aquis after one year of a five-year contract.

    The structure of the Aquis deal — one year with two further two-year options — allowed the company to part ways with the Titans despite being in the infancy of a long-term contract.

    Aquis supported the Titans following the most turbulent time in the club’s history, signing on as a major backer midway through 2015 with a $1.5 million-a-season deal after the NRL assumed ownership of the financially-stricken club.

    For the first part of the 2015 season the Titans sported the logo of the Ronald McDonald House charity until they secured the paid partnership with Aquis.

    Annesley said he would not be rushed into a fire sale and the looming ownership change at the club would help secure a major backer.

    “I’m very confident that we will have a sponsor,” he said.

    “We’re in a really strong position, particularly once the ownership is resolved. That is the final item of uncertainty that people have been waiting for clarity around.

    “We’re currently in talks with a number of companies. While a deal is never done until the ink’s dry, I’m confident we’ll go into our campaign with a major sponsor.

    “I could have sold it a couple of times at a lower price than we believe it’s worth. We will hold out because we know what it’s worth.

    “If you sell it below its value that devalues the whole sponsorship market, not only on the Gold Coast but right through the NRL.”

    The NRL is expected to finalise the Titans ownership change next week after meeting with the two remaining parties for the last time on Thursday in Sydney.

    The commissioners requested more information from the rival consortia — Stuart McAuliffe and Rebecca Frizelle-Darryl Kelly’s joint bid — before determining who the club will go to.

    The Titans were in a perilous state in early 2015 as a drugs scandal was followed by the club being taken over by the NRL.

    With a new club headquarters and coach Garth Brennan assuming the reins, Annesley said the Titans were a more attractive proposition for potential backers.

    “We’re in a far better position,” he said.

    “That was the season the NRL took over. We were coming off the back of insolvency and other issues.

    “We’re stable financially now, have new premises, announced the re-signing of Ash Taylor and a new coach.

    “The final piece of the puzzle is the ownership. I am pretty confident we will be in a position to have a sponsor before we start playing games.”

    I'm still perplexed that Aquis cut and run one year into a supposed 5 year deal. It seems lately that we have announced deals that aren't what they are cracked up to be, other example was Hayne.

    I totally agree with that. Sure they have kept the club going but there has always been a feeling that things are not so great just under the surface. Transparency has never been our strong power. Without the NRL to keep things kosher who knows what would have been said.

    Kelly’s hard work ready to pay off brilliantly
    http://www.gcbulletin.com.au

    THE Titans could announce a major sponsor before Christmas as new owners the Kelly and Frizelle families work on cementing deals they have had in the pipeline during an arduous bid process.

    The club has been without a major sponsor since November after Aquis decided not to take up an option on its naming rights deal. That left a $1.2 million hole in the budget.

    But former chair Rebecca Frizelle said there was “plenty of good news” for the club.

    “We’ll have further announcements,” she said on a morning the club named respected administrator Dennis Watt as executive chairman.

    Darryl Kelly revealed yesterday the consortium had been working on a bid that ran to thousands of pages for the past 18 months.

    The financial models that Kelly, his wife Joanne and Brett and Rebecca Frizelle believe can bring long-term financial stability to the Titans have passed independent testing, and the families feel a break-even point is on the horizon for the club. Until then, they are willing to stump up their own cash.

    It’s something that Kelly has done before but he needed full faith in his model before asking others to join him.

    “We’ve been working on those plans for 18 months,” Kelly said.

    “We’ve had them externally tested and we’re very confident in our ability (for them to be successful) or I wouldn’t be asking Rebecca and Brett to put their hard-earned money into something that is my passion. I’d feel responsible if they were to lose their money.”

    Kelly said the Gold Coast community should be thankful to the NRL for rescuing the Titans in 2015.

    Well I hope you have a change of heart soon although I must admit that living in Mt Gravatt would make it a bit hard to commit to every home game.

    I currently live in Manly West so I does make it alittle difficult. But it’s only for 2018 we are up here and then back to the Coast.

    TFH Hire Services become Titans Principal Partner

    TFH Hire Services has today been confirmed as the Gold Coast Titans, Principal Partner, for season 2018.

    Fresh off the back of last Friday’s ownership announcement, the Titans naming rights partnership with TFH Hire Services is the final major piece of the puzzle to be confirmed in preparation for the 2018 season, and is great news heading into the Christmas and New Year holiday period.

    TFH Hire Services have initially committed for one-year, with an option to further extend what is one of the most valuable partnerships in the NRL. The deal will also include a continuation of naming rights of the Titans’ TFH High Performance Centre at Parkwood.

    The locally based company with a national customer network has been a huge supporter of the Titans having first sponsored the club in 2011. Since then, TFH Hire Services has continued to increase its investment, not only to the club but also in support of the wider Gold Coast community.

    CEO Graham Annesley is ecstatic the partnership has now developed to the point of becoming the club’s principal naming rights partner.

    “TFH Hire Services is another amazing Gold Coast success story. It is a family owned and operated business which has experienced incredible growth and national expansion,” Annesley said.

    “But the best thing about TFH Hire Services, is the amazing people behind the scenes who are genuine down-to-earth Australians who have once again demonstrated what can be achieved with a combination of commitment, hard-work, and determination – qualities we hope the Titans will exhibit both on and off the field in 2018 to repay the faith TFH and the community have shown in our club,” Annesley concluded.

    TFH Hire Services has been in business for more than 40 years; over which time they’ve built an extensive portfolio of business achievements and awards, while also diversifying into many areas of the temporary hire industry.

    The family owned operation is constantly evolving to meet the changing needs of the construction and event industries. TFH Hire Services is Australia’s most successful privately owned temporary fencing company, with over 30 branches across the country.

    TFH Hire Services, Managing Director, Brett Thomas, is delighted to have been able to come to an agreement with the Titans.

    “Like TFH Hire Services, the Gold Coast Titans are a family-owned operation and have strong values relating to a commitment to the local community,” Thomas said.

    “Whilst both of us have a commitment nationally, we know where we come from and we, like the rest of the region, want to see the Titans successful.”

    Footnote: In recognition for the commitment TFH Hire Services has made over its year of involvement with the club, owner, Owen Thomas, has today been named a Patron of the Gold Coast Titans, alongside former Board Member Paul Donovan.
