Hardware Haus Lae Manager, Mark Curtis is ecstatic to be a part of such a prestigious national event.
“The PNG Games are an excellent way for Hardware Haus to give back to the community by providing opportunities and platforms for PNG’s future athletes,” said Mr Curtis.
Corporate bodies like Brian Bell, Trukai Industries and Inter Oil PNG have all joined the bandwagon of sponsors to contribute to the smooth sailing of the Games come the 16th of November.
