"Supporting Northland Rugby over the past five years+ has been an incredible journey for us at Semco Group. As a family-run business, we've always believed in backing our local community, and there’s no better way to do that than through the team that represents the heart and spirit of the Northland province. Watching the teams take the field, feeling the passion of the fans, and being part of something bigger than ourselves has been an absolute privilege!"

"The collaboration with Northland Rugby has been nothing short of inspiring. Their marketing team brought positivity, creativity, and exceptional problem-solving to the table. Together, we created a campaign that resonated deeply with the community, raising awareness about supporting friends and family through tough times. Their dedication and proactive approach, alongside the impactful workshops we conducted on mental health resources, contributed to the overwhelming success of the 2024 season campaign. We’re proud to have partnered with such an incredible team to make a real difference."

"Being a part of Northland Rugby for the past six years+ has been an absolute privilege. This team, this province, and this community mean everything to me, and supporting the Taniwha has always been about more than just rugby – it's about backing our people and showing pride in where we come from."

"We have partnered with Northland RFU for the last 4 years and their delivery of our Sport and Alcohol programme has always been exceptional. They have taken the programme further at their own initiative and developed an additional standalone ‘‘Free for the Kids, Fun for the Whānau’ campaign – a collaborative campaign aimed at reducing local alcohol consumption in Northland through providing positive brand experiences and alcohol-free family zones within rugby. This additional programme far exceeded our expectations."
