With their long-term partnership coming to an end, the Sharks offer their thanks and appreciation to industry-leading domestic and international courier, freight, and logistics services provider Aramex for their support as Premier Major Partner.
In a partnership which began in 2021, Aramex branding has been front and centre on the NRL first-grade men’s jerseys of the Sharks team over the past six seasons.
Aramex has made a significant investment in the Club and rugby league across the Sutherland Shire, including supporting the Sharks NRLW team as front-of-jersey sponsor for its inaugural season in the competition, and a multi-year sponsorship of junior rugby league (JRL), helping to nurture the next generation of players in the region.
Aramex worked with the Sharks to ‘deliver’ numerous VIP and money can’t buy experiences and game-day activations and giveaways for members and fans.
Together, the two organisations have enjoyed success on the field, with the Sharks qualifying for the Finals in five of the six years of the partnership, highlighted by a second-place ladder finish in 2022 and preliminary final appearances in 2024 and 2025.
While away from match day, Aramex have also supported and collaborated with several of the Sharks community partners and initiatives, including Mental Health awareness organisation Find Ya Feet, with Aramex raising and donating an incredible $150,000 to the charity.
In saying farewell, Sharks CEO Dino Mezzatesta expressed the club’s appreciation of Aramex’s long-term support.
"We have shared many lasting memories with Aramex, and they will always be a part of our club’s history and story."
Aramex’s Oceania Regional Director, Mark Little, said: “As our major sponsorship with the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks ends, we want to extend our heartfelt thank you to the fans, players and coaching team, led by Head Coach Craig Fitzgibbon, for making this partnership an unparalleled success.”
“It has been an extraordinary privilege to feature on the jersey and to share in the deep passion, pride and loyalty that make this club so unique. Over the past six years, the partnership has delivered exceptional results, strengthened our connection with fans and the wider community, and created many memorable moments along the way.
“While disappointed our official partnership will not continue next season, our affection for the team and its community remains as strong as ever. We are proud of everything we have achieved together and look forward to continuing to support and engage with the broader community.
“We will always be cheering on the Sharks. Up, up!”
The second-longest major partnership in the history of the Cronulla club comes to an end as of October 31.
