ASB joins forces with Auckland Seafood Festival
ASB has come on board as the naming rights sponsor of the Auckland Seafood Festival.
“The ASB Auckland Seafood Festival, held over Auckland Anniversary Weekend near ASB’s head office at Wynyard Quarter, celebrates some of the best seafood and live entertainment the Auckland region has to offer,” says Mark Graham, ASB’s Head of Community and Sponsorship.
“What also makes the ASB Auckland Seafood Festival so unique is that it is not only just a great day out, it is also a project where all profits are returned to charities working in the local community.”
“ASB is pleased to be supporting what has become an iconic Auckland event enjoyed by thousands of Aucklanders while, at the same time, giving back to the local community.”
“Since beginning in 2006, the Auckland Seafood Festival has showcased the best seafood, local beer and wine, amazing Kiwi musicians and entertainers, master cooking classes and celebrity chefs,” says Eric Barratt, Sanford’s Managing Director.
“We are thrilled that ASB has come on board as the naming rights sponsor for the next three years. ASB has a strong history of working with the Auckland community and we are looking forward to working together as the Festival moves into an exciting new era to provide a one of a kind, waterfront event for Aucklanders to enjoy.”
