Hampshire: Onecom signs five-year deal with Portsmouth FC

Hampshire-based telecommunications provider Onecom has signed a five-year contract with Portsmouth Football Club as the club’s official telecoms partner.

Onecom is the UK’s largest independent business telecoms provider, managing more than 325,000 mobile connections and delivering communication services including fixed line, mobile, broadband and cloud computing services around the UK and employs over 400 staff nationwide.

The sponsorship investment will see Onecom provide the Club with the latest technologies in business communications infrastructure, helping to achieve significant improvements to efficiency at Fratton Park.

Portsmouth Football Club’s commercial director Anna Mitchell commented: “We are delighted to partner with Onecom and announce them as our Official Telecoms Partner.

“As a local partner, they have deep roots within the community that our fans will hugely benefit from.”

Darren Ridge, Group CEO of Onecom, continued: “Onecom has been supporting Portsmouth, one way or another, for quite a while now, and is very proud to be on-board once more for the 2018-2019 season.

“I’m a lifelong Pompey fan. We’ve always been there for the club; always loved watching the team in action, but even more satisfying is being involved with the club as a sponsor.

"Like everyone, we’ve got high hopes for the forthcoming season. It’s been a great start, so hats off to all concerned. Now we’re looking forward to some outstanding football and strong results.”
