1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: Brian Bridge. So the legal battle between Ens and Enios 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: is over. In fact, it didn't even really have to 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: go to court. They did take them to the High 4 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: Court for trying to back out of their sponsorship contract, 5 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,159 Speaker 1: but they both settled out of court. Mark Robinson's the 6 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,799 Speaker 1: nsit R chief executive, with me tonight. Hi Mark, Ryan, Hi, 7 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: how are you good to have you on? So are 8 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: you feeling pretty good about how much you got out 9 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: of them? 10 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 2: Well, you know, obviously we can't talk in too much 11 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 2: detail about that, but yeah, we're pleased there's been a 12 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 2: settlement reached. We were pretty open from when we started 13 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 2: communicating this that we believed we had a really strong 14 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 2: position and it's just been nice to be able to 15 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 2: work through in a readially quick amount of time and 16 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 2: find a resolution. 17 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: It has been quite quick. Did you think do you 18 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: think any of us expected you to just roll over 19 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: rather than actually lawyer up and take it to court. 20 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: Oh? Look, I probably wouldn't speculate on what we thought 21 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 2: they might do or not do, and what we were 22 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 2: really focused on what we thought our position was, and 23 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 2: we were really clear on that, and then we spend 24 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 2: a bit of time thinking about what the right process 25 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: was and clearly, you know, I don't want to go 26 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 2: back in time too much, but once it was a 27 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,639 Speaker 2: breach like there was, and we were in a position 28 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 2: where we'd deliver on everything on our side of the contract, 29 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 2: we felt it was right to initiate you initiate the 30 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: process we did. 31 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: Gregor Paul reckons. You've got your money for twenty twenty five, 32 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: which would be about twenty one million dollars plus a 33 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 1: small additional payment for remaining two years. Is that way off? 34 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 2: I didn't catch all of that, but look like I'm 35 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 2: not going to common any detail like I say, where 36 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: we've been able to work through it. Our team's put 37 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: a huge amount of work into it. We're pleasers. We've 38 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: got to what is. 39 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: Your policy going forward? Do you care whose name is 40 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: on the black jersey? And would you care if it 41 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: was BP, you know, or Greenpeace? Is there anything political 42 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: in the decision as you make or is it just financial? 43 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 2: Well as a range of considerations we have when we 44 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 2: look at potential partners, Ryan, So you know, there's obviously 45 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 2: a reputational piece, there's clearly a commercial piece, there's a 46 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:22,119 Speaker 2: brand and values fit piece, so you know they are 47 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: part of the processes that we always work so and 48 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 2: those are being refined all the time. You know, as 49 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 2: we sort of grow as an organization and think differently 50 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: about our partnerships, it's constantly something that's under a view. 51 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: How are you thinking differently? 52 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 2: Well, we're constantly reviewing what we're doing in partnerships, how 53 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: we bring value to these partnerships. We're looking at different 54 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 2: markets around the world, We're looking at where our teams 55 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 2: are playing, We're looking at our digital reach. There's a 56 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: whole range of activity that we're part of now that 57 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 2: provides value to partners So, yes, it's constant evolution. We've 58 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: talked a lot about how exciting it is, you know, 59 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 2: the business of sport at the moment, and we're right 60 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: in the middle of a really interesting time. 61 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: All right, Mark, good luck with the next sponsorship.
