Members of GAA clubs across County Down will be able to nominate their local club when purchasing insurance products, and in return, their club will receive O’Neills Sportswear vouchers, and their County Team Training fund will receive a matching financial contribution.
The scheme operates right across the spectrum of Autoline’s commercial, home, vehicle and personal insurance products and simply requires the GAA club member to nominate their club in Co. Down. If they purchase from Autoline, their nominated club will obtain vouchers. In addition, a matching financial contribution will be made to the Down County Board Team Training Fund.
Michael Blaney, Managing Director of Autoline Insurance Group said: “At Autoline we value our local community ethos and roots and believe they mirror those found in the heart of GAA clubs and indeed other sporting organisations across the island. We hope that new and existing customers who are supporters of Down GAA will utilise this scheme to benefit their club and county. We are confident that our rates are already among the most competitive in Northern Ireland and we are looking forward to adding this unique, additional benefit to Down GAA members.
“As a business headquartered in Newry, with a branch in Downpatrick, it made sense for us to choose Down as our partner in this exclusive scheme, but if the demand is out there, we will explore other opportunities to help create additional funding sources for other Ulster counties and clubs, as well as other local sporting bodies.”
Down GAC Chairman Seamus Walsh said “Autoline has already been a tremendous supporter of Down GAA at county level, with their sponsorship of team logistics for the senior football team. However as every Gael knows, the bedrock of the GAA is at club level, and I am delighted that this scheme links a local employer into the heart of communities right across our county. I am confident that club members in Down will get behind the scheme and help develop success for Down at both a club and county level.”
Autoline Insurance Group operates across Northern Ireland with offices in Ballymena, Coleraine, Downpatrick and Newry.
