The Carlton Football Club is pleased to announce its spiritual home will now be known as IKON Park.

Carlton captain Marc Murphy and president Mark LoGiudice made the announcement on Monday, to coincide with Michael Jamison and Bryce Gibbs being named as Blues vice-captains.

Some of the company’s high-profile contracts include Crown Casino, Federation Square, Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre, Melbourne Market and the National Gallery of Victoria.

“Having been a Carlton person all my life, it is a proud day for my company and my family. We are delighted to strengthen our long-standing partnership with an icon of Australian sport,” Tahan said.

Carlton president Mark LoGiudice welcomed the announcement.

“As president of this football club, it’s a very proud day when we can name two exceptional young men in Michael Jamison and Bryce Gibbs to support our captain Marc Murphy, as well as welcome a new level of support from long-time partner IKON Services Australia,” LoGiudice said.
