It’s been a tough couple of years for many clubs and businesses, and we believe Sharp EIT Solutions can help play a real role in equipping organisations with products that provide a competitive advantage,” Bernatovic said.
“The Collingwood F.C. collaboration means we can throw our support behind the women’s squad as an official partner, as well as kick start our bolstered efforts to expand our Melbourne service team on the ground, and streamline our service offering to provide more comprehensive support to Victorian businesses.”
