Following the recent announcement of a five-year partnership extension, we're proud to shine a light on the work our Official IT Partner, ITRM, continues to deliver across Charlton Athletic and Charlton Athletic Community Trust [CACT].
Strong partnerships are built over time, and ours with ITRM is a great example of that. Beyond carrying the title of Official IT Partner through to 2030, ITRM has become a trusted cyber security and technology partner, supporting key infrastructure projects that help keep the club running smoothly both on matchdays and behind the scenes.
Over the past 12 months, ITRM's specialist cabling and infrastructure team has played a key role in several major projects, including the infrastructure behind our new LED floodlighting system, connectivity for our digital advertising boards and the fibre network supporting our upgraded stadium scoreboard. While much of this work goes unseen, it's fundamental to delivering a reliable, modern matchday experience.
Jon Blythe, Head of Operations at Charlton, said: "Our supporters see the finished product on a matchday, but there's a huge amount of infrastructure and technical expertise behind the scenes that makes it possible. ITRM has played a significant role in helping us modernise our facilities.
“They understand our operational requirements, work collaboratively with our team and consistently deliver to a high standard. They're a partner we trust as we continue to invest in improving our facilities and the overall matchday experience."
That relationship extends well beyond the technical support ITRM provides to the club. They have also become an important supporter of CACT and the work it delivers across our local communities.
That commitment will be on show later this month, with ITRM taking on the role of Title Sponsor of the CACT Awards at the House of Lords on Thursday, October 22nd, helping us celebrate the people, programmes and achievements that make such a difference across our community.
We're proud to have ITRM so firmly embedded across both Charlton Athletic and CACT, and look forward to continuing to build on the partnership in the years ahead.
