Highlights: Inside a Packed Networking Event at Fratton Park

Eighty businesses. A buzzing Victory Suite. Two powerful Q&As. The latest Pompey Business Hub was one of our biggest and best yet.

Our Hampshire business community is growing fast, and yesterday proved exactly why.

The room was packed with ambitious businesses ready to connect, learn and be part of something bigger.

We welcomed two brilliant speakers who added real value to the day:

Auditel Director, David Wilshin

David Wilshin, Managing Director at Auditel, delivered a practical and engaging Q&A on how SMEs can take real steps toward becoming more carbon neutral.

A topic that clearly resonated and exactly the kind of insight we want our sponsors to bring into the room.

Portsmouth FC’s Head of Technology 

Darren Parker gave a fascinating look into the club’s tech transformation – from modernising the iconic Victory Suite, to AI policies for staff, to the upgraded training ground tech and the updated TV gantry at Fratton Park.

A rare behind-the-scenes look at how a historic football club is embracing modernisation.

Following what, as always, was a delicious lunch at Pompey, more open networking closed out the afternoon in what was another quality day of building connections.

A huge thank you to:

• The Fratton Park Stadium Hospitality Team for their support on the event.
• Auditel for attending and sponsoring the event.
• Darren Parker, Portsmouth FC Head of Technology for speaking at the event.
