“The Sports Association for Adelaide Schools has been using PW Collection for a number of years. We have been impressed with the quality of service and the flexibility of custom designing our awards. Our organisation is very happy to recommend PW Collections”
Leo Panzarino
SANFL Juniors moved to the PW Collecon after numerous issues with a previous supplier. Since using Warren we’ve had no problems and the quality of both the product and service is second to none. Being the largest junior Australian Rules Football competition in Australia our demand and quantity levels are quite high and no order too big or small has been an issue for Warren and his team. We highly recommend the PW Collection to any sporting team, club or organisation for their trophy and medal needs.
Oliver Graham
SANFL Competition Manager
The PW Collection team are very responsive to the ecelectic demands of a large program and understand the school sports scene very well. No job is too hard, and they have worked closely with us to ensure our awards system is as smooth as possible.
