15th August 2019 | London: Core Technology Systems Ltd, a Microsoft Gold partner managed services company, is delighted to announce their renewed support for Hackney Rugby Football Club (RFC) for the 2019/2020 season.

Core have been sponsoring Hackney RFC since 2009 and are proud to continue our association with a values-driven club whose inclusive community approach fits with Core’s mission, vision and values.

Hackney RFC is east London’s fastest growing rugby club, with four men’s sides, two rapidly growing women's sides and an award-winning youth division. Core’s association with the club spans a decade that has seen young players from club start their career with Core.

Conor Callanan, CEO of Core comments: “It is great for Core as a business to be able to show support to the community and a real grass-roots club like Hackney RFC. Sponsorship is a fundamental part of our corporate social responsibility programme.”

The ethos at Hackney RFC is a belief that rugby teaches key life skills and values such as teamwork, respect and self-discipline, making a rugby team a great resource for the community. Their vision for growth extends across both men’s and women’s teams, but they also work with the local community to run youth rugby clubs, an extremely important move for a borough like Hackney.

Alex O’Hara, Senior Treasurer for Hackney RFC commented: “Core’s sponsorship and support over the last ten years has been invaluable to Hackney RFC. Their association with the club has been a vital part of our success during the last decade; it’s allowed us to invest in our facilities, kit and have pride in our club. It’s been a great 10 years and we look forward to our continued partnership.”
