NTI Ltd, Australia’s specialist transport and logistics insurer, has announced their primary sponsorship of the Burrumbuttock Hay Runners on their journey to Armidale on January 23 to 26.
Founded by Brendan ‘Bumpa’ Farrell in 2014, the Burrumbuttock Hay Runners helps the farming industry by transporting and providing essential resources to drought stricken farmers, across regional New South Wales and Queensland.
The recent bushfire crisis across Australia has made the run even more important. The Burrumbuttock Hay Runners became one of the early responders to the fires, acting quickly to pull together a team of volunteers and delivered much needed hay out to farmers in Corryong that were impacted by the fires.

“It’s important for NTI to be able to give back to hardworking Australians who dedicate their lives to sustaining agriculture in our unforgiving climate, and support the volunteers who donate their time and resources.”

Brendan Farrell expressed his gratitude to have NTI on-board as a Primary Sponsor for the fourth consecutive year: “We are really happy to have NTI on-board for the fourth time.
“It’s great to have a corporate partner who has supported us for such a long time. The drought is only getting worse and it’s time for as many people as possible to just get on it and help out,” Farrell said.
