Bisley Workwear will be the official workwear of the Kelly Racing V8 Supercar
team for the next three seasons.
Bisley Workwear has signed a three-year
agreement with Kelly Racing, kicking off this weekend at the Sydney Telstra 500
where Todd and Rick Kelly’s Jack Daniel’s Commodores will carry Bisley signage
on their windscreens.
Bisley Workwear is part of the Gazal Corporation
Group, which was founded by Joe Gazal in 1958. This family business is now a
public company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, with 70 percent
still being owned by the Gazal family. It's portfolio boasts a number of
well-established brands including Van Heusen, Trent Nathan, Pierre Cardin, Fred
Bracks, Calvin Klein Underwear, Davenport, Lovable, Crystelle, Holdmetight and
Midford Schoolwear, as well as Bisley Workwear.
Executive Director David
Gazal said that V8 Supercars, Kelly Racing and Jack Daniel’s was an excellent
platform for the Bisley brand to increase its reach and further establish its
profile in the Industrial, Protectivewear and Workwear Apparel sectors, where so
many of their clients embrace V8 motor sport.
“Rick Kelly and his team
impressed us greatly with their professionalism, energy, passion and willingness
to work with us to develop new business,” said David Gazal.
“For us,
this is just the start of something big in our association with the emerging
Kelly Racing operation.”
Rick Kelly said that Bisley Workwear was an
important and exciting addition to Kelly Racing.
“The moment I walked
into the Gazal Head Office in Sydney and met the Executive Team I knew this
would be a great fit and felt this was a ‘must have’ association for our race
team,” said Rick Kelly.
Gazal Corporation employ 1,200 people and
obviously conduct a very successful global business with some intriguing new
technology. Todd and I, as brothers, can learn a lot from this outstanding
family company.
“Additionally coming from a Building and Construction
family ourselves we look forward to doing great things with Bisley Workwear’s
key spokesperson, Scott Cam.”
Todd and Rick Kelly will aim to give
Bisley Workwear a great start to their association this weekend at the Sydney
Telstra 500 at the Sydney Olympic Park street circuit as they aim to finish the
second season of their team on a high.
