MELBOURNE Football Club and DriversDepot are set to embark on a new journey together, after the AI-native fintech platform signed on as the club's co-principal partner for the next three seasons.
DriversDepot is building a unified operating platform for the people who keep Australia moving. The platform aims to help truck drivers and fleet operators reduce operating costs and complexity by connecting fuel, tolls, payments, and fleet management into one intelligent system with real-time visibility and smarter automation.
In addition to the AFL program, DriversDepot will also support the Casey Demons VFL and VFLW teams as a major partner, including Indigenous sporting initiatives in the Northern Territory.
Melbourne Football Club CEO Paul Guerra said there was great alignment between the club and its new co-principal partner.
"DriversDepot is a fast-growing business with a promising future that we're excited to build alongside," Guerra said.
"Their support of our AFL, VFL and VFLW programs and Indigenous games in the NT symbolises their commitment to their broad client base in helping build efficiencies throughout businesses and communities across Australia.
"We're confident this partnership will help both organisations reach their desired destinations and we’re delighted that they’ve chosen the Melbourne Football Club to partner with."
DriversDepot Founding Director Brad Johannsen said the partnership marries performance with purpose beyond the siren.
“Today, DriversDepot formally turns intent into action by officially announcing our support of the world's oldest professional sporting organisation – the Melbourne Football Club," Johannsen said.
“Our mission at DriversDepot is simple - support the people who keep Australia moving, and do it in a way that strengthens communities, creates opportunity and lifts industry standards.”
“The Melbourne Football Club embodies our commitment to long term vision, excellence in performance and purpose beyond the siren.”
Together, Melbourne Football Club and DriversDepot will work to build a partnership that reflects our shared ambition, discipline and belief in the power of sport and industry to create lasting positive change both on the sporting field and in the community.
