The PFA
Football is one of the most popular sports globally, captivating the hearts and minds of countless fans throughout the year. When The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) approached Codeminers, Ben Simpson, the Head of Digital Communications, aimed to refocus attention on the Association. Established in 1907, the PFA is the oldest professional sports union in the world, dedicated to advocating for the rights, conditions, and status of all professional players. Seeking assistance with their technical initiatives, the PFA engaged with Codeminers' founder, Simon Proctor, to discuss their specific requirements for updating their digital platforms. Ben mentioned, “We have been collaborating with Simon and the Codeminers team for just over a year now. We are close to completing three major projects—a new website, a custom internal CRM database, and an iOS app. We have greatly valued their extensive expertise across various areas and their systematic approach to the work. Simon has consistently invested time to grasp our needs while also offering practical advice and candid insights. We eagerly anticipate the launch of the new website and app, believing that Codeminers' insights will greatly benefit both the organization and our members.” With each of the three projects requiring distinct technical expertise, the newly revamped PFA website features a modern design and improved navigation, built on Sitecore—a leading digital experience platform. Sitecore combines a robust content management system (CMS), an experience manager, and an experience database, enabling the PFA to personalize the digital experiences of their visitors while simplifying content management and maintenance.
