ANZCO Foods Eltham have got behind Taranaki Rugby and the Eltham Volunteer Fire Brigade in an exciting new partnership.

The Eltham beef processing plant has become a Community Good Partner and has gifted the branding on the upper back of the Yarrows Taranaki Bulls #16 jersey to the Eltham Volunteer Fire Brigade.

ANZCO Foods Eltham greatly appreciates the service provided to the Eltham community and their business by the volunteers involved with the Eltham Volunteer Fire Brigade. Some ANZCO Foods Eltham staff are involved as volunteers and the business is happy to provide some support through this “Community Good” initiative that Taranaki Rugby have created.

Taranaki Rugby and ANZCO Foods Eltham will donate $500 to the Eltham Volunteer Fire Brigade for every try scored by the Yarrows Taranaki Bulls reserve hooker this season and the Eltham Volunteer Fire Brigade will also receive a signed and framed #16 jersey at the end of the season to assist with raising funds.

ANZCO Foods Eltham will also be involved with matchday hospitality at a Yarrows Taranaki Bulls home match in the 2021 season.

ANZCO Foods was established in 1984 and currently employs 500 staff at their Eltham plant. ANZCO Foods strives to deliver taste, nutrition and wellbeing to the world through its supply of world-class beef and lamb products to New Zealand, Asia, North America, Europe, and the Middle East.

ANZCO Foods Eltham Site Manager Troy Lambly was looking forward to kicking off the relationship for the 2021 season.

“We are proud partners with Taranaki Rugby and the Eltham Volunteer Fire Brigade, and I know that this support is going to a worthy cause in our community. Go the Yarrows Taranaki Bulls and here is to plenty of tries being scored by the number 16!”
