Pepe's Main Sponsor - Pacific MMI

The Pepe's have been very lucky over the last several years and have
been shown quite a phenomenal level of generosity by insurer Pacific
MMI as the national team's major sponsor. Quite a considerable sum has
been expended both in cash and kind by the insurance major.
It is
understood that Pacific MMI has renewed its association with Netball
PNG (PNG Netball Federation) for 2011 extending it's naming rights over
the PNG Pepes.
The national team will therefore continue to be called the Pacific MMI Pepe's.
It
is also understood that Pacific MMI's Managing Director, Wayne Dorgan
chairs the Federations main Projects Committee that will oversee the
operations of hosting this years Pacific Netball Series.
The
association with Pacific MMI is now into its fifth consecutive year
though 2010 was a particularly difficult year for the national team, the
journey for Pacific MMI has been a mutually rewarding one. The Pepe's
have had a consistently good run since Pacific MMI first put its hand
up as sponsor in 2006 with their most successful claims being gold at
Aruafura in 2008 and gold at the Singapore Nations Cup in 2008.
In 2010 the Pepe's competed at the Commonwealth Games for the first time ever and though the going was tough, the Pepe's accounted well for themselves.
Pacific MMI has also contributed significantly toward the
maintenance of the Development Squad which last year performed extremely
well at the NSW State Championships and has pledged it's continued
support for the development of the sport in PNG.
