Bradnam’s Windows & Doors has renewed its commitment to supporting AFL Queensland umpires, extending its sponsorship for the fourth consecutive year.

With a proud 30-year history of backing local community sports, Bradnam’s South East Queensland General Manager Ben Stackelberg expressed the company’s ongoing dedication to investing in the AFL Queensland umpire program.

“We’re thrilled to be onboard again and supporting AFL Queensland’s team in green!” he said. 

“Our partnership remains focused on providing AFL Queensland umpires with essential equipment, and quality coaching and training resources. The goal is to increase umpire participation, in turn strengthening competitions across Queensland community football. 

“More broadly, we hope the financial support we provide goes some way to helping participants from a young age stay involved in the game they love and along the way they organically pick up resilience, teamwork, mateship, while increasing mental and physical health.” 

Kieran Daley, AFL Queensland’s Participation and Operations Manager, said he was excited to have Bradnam’s back on board as a key partner.

“With our game continuing to grow, so does the need for umpires. Bradnam’s support allows us to focus not only on retaining current umpires but also attracting new ones,” he said.

“Umpires are essential to ensuring our games go ahead each week, and we want to ensure the environment for those umpires is one that’s safe, supportive and welcoming. 

“Bradnam’s support continues to raise awareness of the important work our officials do while helping to elevate the profile of the game to wider audiences.

“Bradnam’s long-standing commitment to community football has been invaluable, and we’re thrilled to continue our partnership in 2025.”
