This announcement coincides with a new two-year partnership agreement with the North Queensland Cowboys, making Suncorp a major partner of the Cowboys NRL and NRLW programs, the Presenting Partner of the Cowboys Game Participation Program (schools and juniors, regional and rural), and a partner of the Cowboys Community Foundation.
Making the announcement at the Hutchinson Builders Centre (Cowboys Headquarters) in Townsville, Suncorp CEO Steve Johnston said the insurer was committed to strengthening regional job opportunities.
“Suncorp is a proud Queensland organisation, and today’s announcement reinforces our commitment and investment in our home state. North Queensland is vibrant and growing, and we could think of no better partner than the Cowboys to help us support this important region,” Mr Johnston said.
Joining the Suncorp CEO to make the announcement, Cowboys CEO Jeff Reibel said he was delighted to welcome Suncorp on board during such a significant time for the club.
“Our partnership with Suncorp represents a clear vision and strong alignment of values between our two organisations,” Mr Reibel said.
“We are looking forward to a successful partnership, working with a proudly Queensland brand to make a difference both on and off the field.”
The new Townsville hub is part of Suncorp’s $25 million jobs and investment commitment to the Queensland Government in the sale of Suncorp Bank.
