Novated Lease Australia (NLA) is proud to announce it has signed on as a major partner of Sydney Thunder's Weber WBBL and KFC BBL teams for the upcoming season.
Founded with a mission to make car ownership simpler and more affordable, NLA is helping tens of thousands of Australians get behind the wheel of their ideal vehicle through a streamlined, zero-stress leasing experience backed by over 3,700 five-star customer reviews.
Combining expert advice with a digital-first experience, NLA helps employees maximise their take-home pay while providing employers with a simple and seamless way to offer novated leasing benefits.
The one-year partnership will see NLA feature prominently across Thunder's WBBL|12 and BBL|16 campaigns, including branding on the men's playing shirts throughout the BBL season.
NLA will also become the Naming Rights Partner of the SkyDeck at ENGIE Stadium, bringing its brand to one of Thunder's premium match-day experiences across all BBL home games this summer.
Sydney Thunder General Manager Trent Copeland said:
“We're really excited to welcome Novated Lease Australia to Thunder Nation and have them on board across both our WBBL and BBL programs this summer.”
"What stood out to us was their commitment to making things easier and more accessible for everyday Australians, something that aligns closely with our own focus on connecting with families and communities across Western Sydney."
“It's fantastic to see NLA represented on our BBL playing shirts and as the Naming Rights Partner of the SkyDeck at ENGIE Stadium. We're looking forward to working together to bring this partnership to life throughout the season.”
We're thrilled to partner with the Sydney Thunder this summer. The BBL is an elite entertainment platform with mass reach, allowing us to connect with Australians at scale through a sport we all love. We see a genuine alignment in our values. The Thunder are pace-setters who are deeply dedicated to their fans across Western Sydney. At NLA, we share that exact same drive—working relentlessly to champion everyday Australians and deliver a service they can rely on.
Thunder's WBBL|12 campaign is underway, with the club returning to Drummoyne Oval on Thursday, 5 November.
The club's BBL|16 season begins in Canberra on 16 December, before returning to ENGIE Stadium for the highly anticipated Sydney Smash presented by Return and Earn on 19 December.
