KUMHO SIGNS ON TO PARTNER CAMP QUALITY

Kumho Tyre has announced it has signed on children’s cancer charity Camp Quality as its major partner.

Camp Quality gives kids facing cancer the chance to be kids again, with services and programs created specifically to help children from birth to 15 years, who are dealing with their own cancer diagnosis, or the diagnosis of someone they love, like a brother, sister, mum or dad.

As part of the partnership, Kumho Tyre will undertake activities via hundreds of tyre dealers and tyre fitters across the Kumho network all around Australia, through special Camp Quality merchandise raising funds and awareness for the charity.

According to Kumho Tyre Australia’s managing director, John Jeon, the association with Camp Quality is a significant one for Kumho and will be the company’s major philanthropic focus in the future.

“Kumho is incredibly proud to be a corporate partner of Camp Quality because of the key role it plays in supporting children and families experiencing the challenges of cancer as well as providing valuable cancer education in schools across the community,” said Mr. Jeon.

“As a global company Kumho is committed to community involvement, and supporting Camp Quality is just one demonstration of Kumho giving something back to the community,” he said.

Kumho Tyre Australia, national marketing manager, Kenny Chun, said Kumho has a proud history of supporting worthy community charities over many years.

“We are really pleased to have signed on to partner with Camp Quality,” Kenny Chun added.

More than 7500 kids facing cancer are registered for services and programs with Camp Quality. It’s estimated that 750 kids aged 0-15 are newly diagnosed with cancer each year, with the charity supporting around 59 per cent of these children with their services and programs.

Camp Quality CEO, Deborah Thomas, said the partnership will enable Camp Quality to continue to provide much-needed services and programs to kids impacted by cancer.

“We are delighted to be chosen by Kumho Tyres as their charity partner and look forward to working with the Kumho team so that together we can create positive memories which help change the cancer story for kids and their families: in-hospital, at home, at school and away from it all on camps and retreats”.

NSW/QLD Platinum Dealer Conference

16 Nov, 2023

After a number of years and a range of factors beyond anyone’s control, Kumho Tyre Australia were pleased to host a combined Platinum Dealer Conference for their NSW and QLD Dealers on the Gold Coast. Held in mid-October, 28 of the Kumho Platinum Dealers checked in to the Mantra on View in Surfers Paradise before hearing all the latest from key Kumho staff about the year so far and the road ahead for Kumho as a brand and also the Platinum Dealer program. With near 70 people in the room, it was great to be able to share ideas and workshop things that work, and also work through issues individual stores may run in to at different times. With multiple people from Head Office in attendance, Dealers certainly found it beneficial to have direct correspondence and conversations with key decision-makers. After spending close to three hours running through a number of key elements, it was time for everyone to pretty themselves up before meeting for a quiet ale and from there it was off to Top Golf. For a large contingent of the group it was their first experience at the venue and it didn’t disappoint. With good food, cold beverages and a golf range like no other, a fun time was had by all. Special mention must go to Ian Kennedy from Transit Tyres in Mackay and Craig Hooper from Tyrewise on the Sunshine Coast who clearly spend a lot of their time when not at their store playing golf and working on their game. National Trade Marketing Manager, Paul Deer, was pleased with how the conference went. “It’s been difficult for everyone to come together over the past couple of years but we made sure this year we gave all our valued Platinum Dealers the opportunity to attend what I believe was a successful event,” Deer said. “We had a great turn out and it was good to be able to be in front of a large group to talk them through the success of the last 12 months, as well as discuss some exciting projects we’ve got underway heading into 2024." “Whilst we talked ‘shop’ for a period in the afternoon, we got to experience one of the Gold Coast’s newest attractions in Top Golf. It was certainly enjoyable and I think it’s safe to say all our Platinum Dealers should stick to their day job and won’t be on the PGA TOUR anytime soon." “We thank all of our Platinum Dealers for their continued support of the program and we are certainly looking forward to finishing the year strongly and then starting 2024 with a bang.”
