Haymes Paint director of strategy and sales, Matthew Haymes, said: “Sport plays an integral part in our community, and it is great to see that Western United has decided to call Ballarat its regional home.”

“Haymes Paint is proud to be supporting Western United, along with other family businesses, Simonds Homes and 61 Design.
