is this the the same Company which is a Sponsor of the Saints

If so the Saints inadvertantly may have bought more than sponsorship to the State.

They are.

Great sponsor to have on board - very international company, one of the top 250 private companies in the UK, fast growing in the last 5-6 years. Annual turnover is about $800m (Aust dollars).

I wondered what had become of PCI.

Apparently their operators were strong Saints supporters hence their sponsorship.

Wasn't their call centre in East Boundary Road at Virginia Park?

the Saints used their centre to do the membership calls last year- so assume used the same this year-
so it's an expansion rather than a move into the state.

I must admit I've tried googling Vertex while at the game to figure out who they were, couldn't find any information.
