VIP Frames and Trusses Tactix Netball Sponsorship 2025
2025-06-30

At Barker’s of Geraldine our connection to the Canterbury region is important to us. As a business proudly based in Geraldine, supporting local communities and organisations has always been a core part of who we are.
Our partnership with the VIP Frames and Trusses Tactix netball team reflects this commitment. Like Barker's, the Tactix strives for excellence while staying grounded in their local roots - something we believe resonates with our customers and community.

Through this partnership we’ve been able to engage directly with the netball fans across the Canterbury region through many touch points including at games, train with the Tactix events and on our socials. Barker’s Match Ball Deliverer competitions have been one of our highlights for the season.
The winning tamariki gets to start off the Tactix home game by delivering the game ball onto the court and goes home with some Barker's and Tactix goodies! It's been special to be able to create a unique experience for the Tactix supporters to get up close and personal with the players.

At these games, we’ve been sharing some of our great tasting new product, such as our new Squeezy Fruit Preserves range. These are perfect for busy families looking for convenient, great tasting spreads in a simple squeezy bottle. Getting feedback from our loyal Canterbury consumers adds value to our partnership with the Tactix as we continue to build relationships with people that matter to us.
Being able to connect with our younger foodies is a special opportunity for us to get to know the wider community. Sport brings people together (much like food!) creating connection, community and celebration. Supporting the Tactix allows us to contribute to that experience.
We are looking forward to the rest of the season alongside the VIP Frames and Trusses Tactix as they represent Canterbury with passion and determination.
