North Harbour Hyundai Joins Forces with Rugby Star Angus Ta’avao

Following his much-anticipated return to the Auckland Blues for the 2024 season, North Harbour Hyundai is thrilled to announce its partnership with rugby union star Angus Ta’avao.

As part of Ingham Motor Group (one of the largest family-owned automotive retailers in the country) North Harbour Hyundai is known for its commitment to local sports and community initiatives. So, when the opportunity arose to partner with a sportsman of Ta’avao’s calibre, it was an obvious match for the company to pursue.

The collaboration is also a natural progression for Ta’avao who has a long history with Ingham Motor Group. Particularly with the Ingham Hyundai Hamilton dealership, which was a long-term sponsor of the highly respected athlete during his four-year tenure with the Waikato Chiefs.

“I am extremely excited to be working with the team at North Harbour Hyundai,” confirmed Ta’avao. “This partnership is more than just a sponsorship; it’s a shared commitment to excellence and determination, values that are close to my heart.”

Nic Tsimas, Dealer Principal of North Harbour Hyundai, is delighted to have the rugby star and homegrown hero on board.

“Angus is not just an outstanding rugby player; he has been a great ambassador for the Hyundai brand,” he enthused. “His impressive track record and inspiring return to the Blues align perfectly with our ethos at North Harbour Hyundai. We are proud to sponsor Angus and are excited about the potential of this partnership.”

With his career currently spanning 135 Super Rugby matches and 23 All-Black tests, Ta’avao’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable, while his resilient comeback from injury speaks volumes towards both his perseverance and his enthusiasm for the game.

And as Ta’avao takes to the field with the Blues, the team at North Harbour Hyundai look forward to an exciting year of rugby.
