Newcastle Herald - 10 December 2024

Hunter Rugby would like to congratulate our Engagement Contributors SOLVD Agency on making this year's Australian Financial Review's Fast Starters list.

SOLVD came in at number 37 and was one of the few regional-based businesses to make the list.

Last month the agency also won a Transform Award for "best strategic or creative development of a new brand" for its client Noveco Surfaces, which launched a sustainable product that replaces engineered silica.

Congratulations guys, we're very grateful we get to work with you!

Newcastle Herald - 3 DECEMBER 2024

"A number of Rugby Australia executives have visited the Hunter over the last 12 month in the lead up to the 2027 World Cup. They have seen the strong infrastructure and support the community has for the game. They talk about the grassroots of the game. The Hunter personifies that. We are a unique region, having juniors, seniors and a Shute Shield team." - Hunter Rugby President James Slattery.

It is the Wallabies only warm-up game before the much-anticipated Lions series.
