February 2024 Newsletter

This year we have partnered with Salford Red Devils with two NCS IT banners pitch-side. These will be shown at all of the men’s First Team home matches at the AJ Bell Stadium in Salford. So if you’re attending (or even watching on TV) you might just catch a glimpse of your favourite IT company’s logo!

As part of our partnership with the club, we also get tickets to the home matches. If this is something you would be interested in attending with us as a guest, please let your Account Manager know.
