V.I.P. Home Services has signed on as a Joint Major Partner of the Port Adelaide Football Club. In 2011, the franchise business was a coaches’ sponsor and Premier Partner for the club.

Bill Vis, founder of V.I.P Home Services, said “ItÍs thanks to the great results we have seen from the partnership and the fantastic relationships we have with the club that increasing the sponsorship was an easy decision,”

“To be partnering with a club that shares similar values and is the only club to be playing in every AFL market in 2012 makes sense from a business and brand exposure perspective.

“We sponsor a range of different sporting clubs throughout Australia which allows our franchisees to connect and be active and support their local sporting community,” Vis added.

Port Adelaide president Brett Duncanson said the new partnership was exciting for both the club and the company. “V.I.P. and the Port Adelaide Football Club are a fantastic fit,” Duncanson said.
