🌟 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT – FRANK. RISK MANAGEMENT 🌟

This one is a pretty special thank you! ❤️🖤

A massive thank you to Frank. Risk Management and our very own David Bradbury for coming on board as one of the major sponsors of our B Grade Tournament.

David isn’t just a sponsor — he’s also one of our Te Aroha Squash Club members, which makes his support mean that little bit more to us. We’re incredibly lucky to have people within our own club who are willing to get behind us and help make weekends like the one we’ve just had possible.

For those who don’t know Frank., they are a New Zealand-owned insurance broking and risk management business, with their Waikato office based in Hamilton. They pride themselves on doing things a little differently — being upfront and transparent, getting to know their clients and their businesses, and being there to advocate for them when it really matters. David is a Partner and Senior Broker with the Frank. team.

We really can’t thank David enough for backing our club. Not only for the incredibly generous sponsorship, but for being part of our squash community and supporting what we’re trying to achieve here at Te Aroha. 🥰

David and the team at Frank. — thank you for helping make our tournament such an awesome weekend. We are so grateful to have your support! 🙌🏆

❤️🖤 Please support the businesses who support us.
