JackJumpers sign Federal Group as Foundation Partner

The Tasmania JackJumpers signed their first major sponsor, announcing Federal Group as their Accommodation and Hospitality Foundation Partner.

Federal Group will provide accommodation for visiting teams in Hobart and Launceston when the JackJumpers enter the Hungry Jack’s NBL in the 2021-22 Season.

JackJumpers CEO Simon Brookhouse: “We are thrilled to have a prominent Tasmanian brand in the Federal Group come on board as our Accommodation and Hospitality Foundation Partner.

“Federal Group is not only the oldest continually operating hotel group in Australia but Tasmania’s largest private sector employer and we welcome them to the JackJumpers family as we embark on this exciting journey.

“This partnership will help us grow our fan base among Federal Group’s 1800 Tasmanian employees and allow us to promote the JackJumpers to customers across the company’s extensive network of hotels, pubs, restaurants and retail outlets.”

Federal Group Chief Operating Officer Nick Linnett: “We know what it’s like to build something from scratch here in Tasmania. Federal Group built Australia’s first casino at Wrest Point and first integrated casino and golf resort at the Country Club. Saffire was Tasmania’s first luxury lodge and MACq01 is the world’s first storytelling hotel.

“To get projects like this off the ground you need the support of a strong local network and Federal Group is excited to help kickstart Tasmania’s new NBL team.

“A part of our support for the JackJumpers, Federal Group is providing more than 500 room nights to visiting teams and officials. We’re looking forward to showcasing the very best of Tasmania to players, support staff and fans from all over Australia.”
