Stellar Recruitment Announces Sponsorship of the Highlanders
Stellar Recruitment is proud to announce that it will be partnering with the Highlanders for the 2025 and 2026 Super Rugby Pacific seasons. The Stellar logo will appear on the front of the playing and training shorts.
As a supporter of community sport, Stellar sees this partnership as a natural extension of its ongoing commitment to helping strengthen the local community and create real connections across both the sporting and professional worlds.
A Deep Local Connection
“The roots of Stellar Recruitment are firmly planted in Dunedin, where co-founder Shaun McCambridge and I first met as classmates at Kings High School in the 1990s. Our journey together has come full circle with the opening of our Dunedin branch in 2024, and partnering with the Highlanders is an exciting opportunity to give back to the community that has supported us from the start. This sponsorship feels like a true homecoming for us," said Robbie McIlraith, co-founder of Stellar Recruitment.
The Dunedin Team Behind the Success
Our local Dunedin branch, led by former All Black and Highlander Paul Miller, Dunedin local Stacey Wing, and Operations Coordinator Desiree Miller, continues to do exceptional work supporting businesses throughout Otago and Southland. The team has been instrumental in key projects, including the Dunedin Hospital redevelopment, which represents a career highlight for all involved.
"We are incredibly proud of our Dunedin team and the important work they’re doing for businesses and projects in the region. Our involvement in the Dunedin Hospital project has been a standout achievement, and we're excited to see our local team grow alongside our partnership with the Highlanders," added McIlraith.
A Partnership Built on Shared Values
“Our partnership with Stellar is a natural alignment of our core values: a dedication to excellence, a commitment to teamwork, and a shared passion for community engagement. Through our partnership we will support Stellar Recruitment in connecting with the wider community, inspiring the next generation, and contributing to playing an important role in our region's sporting success” said Highlanders Commercial Manager Mike Kerr.
