“Orbit Logistics proudly supports local sporting clubs at all levels, and this is a great opportunity for our organisation to align with a respected club like North Melbourne and its passionate fans,” Glenn says.
“We see the alignment with North Melbourne as an important vehicle to drive further growth for our business and to provide Orbit Logistics with national exposure.”
