Partnering for a Thriving Future: Bridgestone and Thriving Southland

Thriving Southland is proud to welcome Bridgestone as an official sponsor and partner, supporting our mission to empower Southland farmers and rural communities. Bridgestone is a global leader in tyre technology and one of New Zealand’s most trusted tyre brands. From on-farm vehicles to heavy machinery, Bridgestone provides innovative solutions that prioritise safety, performance, and environmental responsibility.

Bridgestone’s commitment to sustainability and reliability aligns closely with the work we do to support Catchment Groups, environmental initiatives, and rural resilience. This partnership will help Thriving Southland continue delivering valuable projects, connecting communities, and driving positive change across the region.

"Strong partnerships are key to building a thriving future for Southland. We’re excited to have Bridgestone on board, backing the work our catchment groups and communities are doing to enhance local environments and farm sustainability." Richard Kyte, Thriving Southland Project Lead

Through this collaboration, Bridgestone will have a presence at key Thriving Southland events, feature on our social media platforms, and contribute to conversations on rural sustainability through the Catchment Convos podcast.

"At Bridgestone, we understand the importance of strong rural communities and sustainable land management. Partnering with Thriving Southland allows us to support the incredible work happening at the grassroots level in one of New Zealand’s most important agricultural regions." Jon Tamblyn, Director of NZ Business, Bridgestone
