Nestle Fiji has joined the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Vuvale (family). Nes­tle Fiji general manager Tim Ink­ster said the sponsorship would allow fans to win great prizes the next two months.

“This feels like a marriage made in heaven for two big brands,” Ink­ster said.

“The promotion starts now right to May 29 or until stocks last whichever occurs first.

“Both brands are loved by Fijians all over the country.”

He said 800,000 cards have been distributed.

“That means 800,000 opportuni­ties for our brand and players to enter kitchens across Fiji. Collect­ing card promotion will run with our Maggi five pack chicken noo­dles product in all major super­markets nationwide.

“They are already in supermar­kets now and the competition runs through to the end of May, right to the end of the home and away sea­son.

“Shoppers will get the opportu­nity to collect one of 30 available cards in every pack.

“There are 30 cards in total to col­lect, they include both the Fijian and Fijiana Drua. There are 12 Fijiana Drua and 18 Fijian Drua cards to collect. There will be five lucky shoppers who, if they find the golden card in these packs they will instantly win a signed Fijian Drua jersey.

“There are only five jerseys to be won so get out there and get a pack of noodles.”

Swire Shipping Fijian Drua chief executive officer, Brian Thorburn, welcomes Nestle’s inclusion.

“The Drua has been fortunate

enough to have drawn in very sig­nificant sponsorship support from a range of companies,” he said.

“You can’t get more global than the Nestle Group in Fiji you can’t go without Maggi noodles.

“It is one of the top selling items, it is on every Fijian family’s week­ly grocery list and should be popu­lar the next six weeks.

“We are proud to welcome Maggi and Nestle to our sponsor vuvale.”
