The New Croft is proud to announce a new partnership with Urban Network, which will become our exclusive Managed IT & Cyber Partner for the next two years.
This partnership represents building stronger foundations for our growing community. Urban Network, a trusted and people-first IT solutions provider founded in 2003, brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and heart to the work they do. Their team offers tailored, reliable support to organisations across England, and now, they’ll be bringing that same level of care to The New Croft.
As part of this partnership, Urban Network will help us strengthen and secure our digital systems, so we can continue providing a safe and effective environment for the hundreds of families, young people, and local groups who use our facilities every week. With their dedicated Account Management support, we’ll be better equipped to grow our services and deliver them with confidence.
A key aspect of this partnership is Urban Network’s commitment to supporting our community-focused initiatives.
Urban will also be a proud sponsor of The New Croft Foundation, directly supporting a wide range of inclusive and grassroots programmes across the site. From our youth pitches to community spaces.
We’re especially excited to relaunch our popular weekly walking football session as the ‘Urban Walking Football’ programme, providing older adults with a fun, safe, and social way to stay active.
Peter Betts, CEO of The New Croft, shared: “We are delighted to welcome Urban Network into The New Croft family. Their expertise in IT is matched by their genuine interest in people and communities. This partnership is about more than digital support – it’s about building a future where local sport and community activity thrive side by side with innovation and security.”
Perry Ashby, Chief Executive of Urban Network, commented: “We’re incredibly proud to partner with The New Croft as their official Managed IT & Cyber Partner. At Urban, we believe that technology should empower people and strengthen communities. This collaboration allows us to do just that—supporting The New Croft’s vital work in the community while ensuring their digital infrastructure is secure, resilient, and future-ready.
We look forward to a productive collaboration with Urban Network, founded on shared values of service, inclusion, and a commitment to delivering positive outcomes for the local community and surrounding areas.
