The Sydney Swans is saddened to learn of the recent passing of Raymond Jones. Raymond was the Managing Director of QBE's Australian business for more than 12 years, from 1994 to 2006. He loved his Swans and was a prominent member of the Sydney Swans family.

QBE Insurance’s sponsorship of the Sydney Swans commenced in 1987, some 37 years ago, making the QBE-Swans sponsorship one of the longest in Australian sporting history. 

Raymond played a significant role in forging that partnership which is as strong today as ever. 

John Cloney, past CEO and Chairman of QBE, recalls that Raymond was resolute in keeping the faith. "When things were really tough, and they were, he was all in. Raymond remained absolutely loyal to his beloved Swans," Cloney said.

The club extends its deepest condolences to Jenni Jones and their three children Sean, Katherine, and Georgia and their families.
