Matrix IT is celebrating its renewed partnership with Havant Rugby Football Club (HRFC), following the Men’s 1st XV promotion last season back into the National Leagues.
The collaboration between Fareham-based Matrix IT and Havant RFC will see the IT Managed Service Provider supporting the club for a second year, as well its IT infrastructure keeping Havant RFC and the community connected.
With a shared focus on strong customer relationships and teamwork, both Matrix IT and Havant RFC are dedicated to nurturing local connections and building a culture of success, making the collaboration a natural fit for both organisations.
Club President Jonathan Mangnall said: “Havant RFC is excited to continue our journey alongside Matrix IT, especially as we step up to the National League. Their support strengthens our ability to grow both on and off the field, ensuring we continue to develop talent and deepen our community impact.”
Founded in 1951, Havant RFC is one of the largest and most successful community rugby clubs in the South of England. With over 700 members, including players from juniors to seniors, the club continues to thrive at its home ground at Hooks Lane in Havant.
Approximately 85% of the club’s senior teams are made up of local talent and supports five senior teams, a rapidly growing women’s side, and multiple junior teams, making it a hub for local rugby development.
“Our commitment to exceptional customer service and building strong, long-term relationships aligns perfectly with the ethos of Havant RFC,” said Nic Cronin, Chairman, Matrix IT.
“We’re proud to give back to our local community, and this partnership is a way for us to make a meaningful contribution. By supporting Havant RFC, we’re not only helping the club thrive but also benefiting the local people who are at the heart of everything we do.”
With a deep-rooted history of supporting the region’s sporting scene, Matrix IT also proudly partners with other local sports organisations, including Portsmouth FC and Hampshire Cricket, working closely with its partners and customers to provide a range of IT services, internet connectivity, telephony solutions, security, as well as data backup and business disaster recovery.
