Keep Right On: Intercity now the Official IT Support Partner of BCFC

At Intercity, we believe in doing things differently. We’re not just about providing IT support — we’re about making a real impact. Today, we’re thrilled to announce a partnership that’s close to our hearts and reflects our passion for local success. Intercity is now the official IT Support Partner of Birmingham City Football Club!

TEAMING UP WITH A BIRMINGHAM ICON

This partnership isn’t just a business deal; it’s a proud moment for a Birmingham-based company like ours. We’ve joined forces with one of the city’s most iconic and beloved institutions, the Blues. It’s a partnership built on shared values, deep local roots, and a commitment to excellence both on and off the field.

Over the next three years, we’ll be upgrading the club’s IT systems and cloud servers, providing matchday stadium support, and enhancing connectivity at the Knighthead Training and Academy Grounds. We'll also be offering IT transformation advice and delivering cybersecurity training, we’re here to ensure Birmingham City Football Club has the tech tools to thrive in every area.

And that’s not all. An on-site support engineer from Intercity will be on hand to provide round-the-clock technical support, so the club can focus on what it does best, playing great football and inspiring the community.

DRIVING EXCELLENCE, ON AND OFF THE PITCH.

Charlie Blakemore, our CEO, summed it up perfectly:

“We’re incredibly proud to partner with Birmingham City Football Club, a cornerstone of our local community. This partnership represents a great synergy between two Birmingham-based organisations with deep and passionate roots in the city. Our focus will be on providing the football club with a robust IT infrastructure that enables them to operate smoothly and focus on their performance both on and off the field.”

For us, this partnership is about more than technology. It’s about supporting Birmingham’s best and helping the Blues achieve their vision for the future. As Garry Cook, CEO of Birmingham City Football Club, put it:

“We took over just over a year and a half ago, and it was about fixing and building the football club. To do that, you need the right technical skillset. Intercity are the best in the business, so that was an easy choice.”

BUILDING ON SUCCESS

This isn’t our first foray into supporting Birmingham’s sporting greats. Last year, we partnered with Edgbaston Cricket Ground and Warwickshire County Cricket Club, proving that we can deliver innovative IT solutions across industries. From sports to corporate enterprises, we’re dedicated to empowering organisations to achieve their goals.

Our collaboration with Birmingham City Football Club isn’t just about IT; it’s about being a part of something bigger. We’re proud to play a role in the club’s ongoing transformation, which includes their inspiring Blue Nose Day initiative. We’ve already contributed to help young people supported by the Birmingham Children’s Trust, and this is just the beginning.

A MODERN BIRMINGHAM SUCCESS STORY

Intercity’s journey has been one of rapid growth and bold ambition. We’ve doubled our workforce to 325 over the last five years and grown from a £28m turnover in 2020 to generating over £60m in 2025. Our story is one of outstanding customer service, performance, and strategic acquisitions, including Centrality, a UK leader in Microsoft solutions.

This partnership with Birmingham City Football Club is another milestone in our mission to support Birmingham’s rise. Together, we’re showing what local organisations can achieve when they combine innovation, community spirit, and a relentless drive for success.
