Stellar Recruitment supports Wellington's OBU Rugby Club for 2025

Stellar Recruitment is proud to continue supporting grassroots sport by sponsoring Wellington's Old Boys University (OBU) Rugby Club for the 2025 season.


Wellington Business Development Manager, Mike Newell, played for OBU "back in the day," as did Auckland-based build and construction Division Manager, Blair Stewart.


"Stellar Recruitment is honoured to sponsor the Old Boys University Rugby Club for the 2025 season. As a former OBU player, it's a full circle moment for me to support the club that played such a big part of my life Wellington and continues to do so with the friendships I have formed." said Mike.


With the opening of Stellar Recruitment's Wellington office in May 2024, the team are eager to deepen our ties with the local community. "We are more committed than ever to supporting the local community and fostering talent," Mike added. "I am excited to watch the boys this season and see their hard work and dedication pay off on the field."


OBU has a rich history, dating back over 125 years to 1897, with over 300 registered players and strong relationships with other Wellington rugby clubs.


Stellar Recruitment opened its Wellington office in May 2024, headed by Mike Newell. He was joined by Recruitment Coordinator, Gregor Tait, in July 2024, and a further coordinator is due to start with the team in February 2025.
