Default NZ Cricket team sponsor

Saw last nights ODI and proudly on NZ teams tops Ford and unfortunately some stupid bank.

Anyway if Ford Australia have no business and no money, who and what are Ford NZ and where does there $$$$ come from

Selling and servicing cars I would imagine, they have only been in NZ since 1936.

They used to assemble vehicles here and produce alloy wheels.

You realise Ford are a top three seller in NZ.

Don't mean to rude or anything...

But..

  • Ford NZ, different from Ford Australia. They would have there own budgets for advertising.
  • Ford have plenty of business to, and have money.
  • Ford Sponsor Geelong Cats, and have done for 90 years...

Actually, what is the aim of this post?

I love watching NZ teams play and win, I get dissapointed when they loose, Just like Fords in V8 racing.
I was not observant enough to go to their website so I was simply asking a question about how with the demise of Ford they could sponsor NZ cricket.

I dont follow AFL so had no idea about Geelong football team being sponsored , and didnt think enough into it that although manufacturering had finished Ford Aus/NZ will still be selling and servicing vehicles.

Well please forgive me silly old bugger that I am,

What demise of Ford are you referring to?

I'd say with some certainty that Ford Aus would throw out more sponsorship monies than Ford NZ.
What's the point of your post?

Look, it wasn't a great performance by the Kiwis in the ODI last night, but I still think their PM stepping down is an over-reaction.
