“One of the deciding factors in choosing dbfb for our business-critical IT is their ability to offer us vital match day support,” said Commercial Director of NTFC, Caroline Lucy. “It is incredibly important for us to know we have support 24/7. What really stood out for us was their approach, they challenged us to think differently about IT.
“Previously, IT was thought of as a resource whereas now we truly believe it can be an enabler to drive revenue growth for us. dbfb have been partners of the club for some time now so we know the support is there and, like the club, they are heavily involved in supporting and giving back to the local community.”
dbfb will this season also become the Official Development Team Sponsor with branding appearing on the Academy kits and around key parts of the stadium.
“These are exciting times for the Northampton Town Academy,” Caroline Lucy added.
