Wellington Rugby Football Union (WRFU) is delighted to announce Codec ‘Software for Business’ as the front-of-jersey naming rights partner for the Wellington Pride in the 2025 Bunnings Warehouse Farah Palmer Cup (FPC). After featuring on the back of the shorts in 2024, Codec now takes pride of place front and centre on the jersey in 2025. Codec’s COO & Director, Amy Cooper says, "We are incredibly honoured to be the major sponsor of the Wellington Pride in 2025. Supporting this team is not just about empowering all wāhine in sport, but also about fostering inclusivity, strength, and community. Together, we stand for pride, resilience, and the undeniable power of unity both on and off the field. We can’t wait to see what this season brings.” Codec specialises in designing and developing new software systems, application enhancements, and ongoing support for businesses of all sizes across New Zealand. With over 16 years of success, they continue to lead in innovation and service. WRFU CEO, Tony Giles says, "It’s an absolute privilege to have Codec front and centre on the Pride jersey in 2025. Al (CEO) and the wider Codec whānau are passionate about sport, especially women’s sport. Alongside their new women and girls’ partnership with Cricket Wellington, they also support Wellington Golf and Wellington Rugby, all while leading the way in staff wellness and celebration. Simply put, they are great people, and we are honoured to have them on board." Wellington Pride Head Coach, Fusi Feaunati adds, "We are incredibly grateful to Al and Codec for their generosity and continued support of our wāhine in rugby, particularly the Wellington Pride FPC team. Having Codec front and centre acknowledges the shared values of empowerment, inclusivity, strength, and service to our communities. Their support allows our programme to continue inspiring the next generation of wāhine through rugby. We are very excited for this partnership with Codec in 2025 and beyond."
