Payne Security Helps IFA Prepare For The World Cup

Payne Security’s complete card management service has been selected for the supply of new personal ID cards for all members of the Irish Football Association (IFA)’s Adult and Junior Supporters Schemes.

The cards are being issued ahead of the IFA’s World Cup 2010 qualifying campaign, providing members with a range of benefits.  The IFA required a swift response and turned to local company North Time and Data, Payne

Security’s trade partner in Northern Ireland, with whom it has been working since 2005 to develop and mass produce ID card solutions.

With such a major campaign ahead, North Time and Data recognised the value in offering Payne Security’s complete card management service, which offers production and fulfillment of personalised, secure and branded ID cards.  Over 3000 cards have been produced at Payne Security’s facility in Mold, North Wales to the IFA’s design specification, including a barcode on the reverse.  These are then posted directly to end users, giving the IFA a hassle-free card solution.

 “The support by North Time and Data during the transition period has been first class, and has saved us at the IFA a lot of time and resource,” comments Jonny McMeekin, Database Manager at the IFA, who provided all data required for the production of the cards.

“We are delighted to be involved in such a prestigious scheme, and glad to help North Time and Data meet the IFA’s needs,” comments Andy Roberts, National Sales Development Manager at Payne Security.

Geoff Wilson Head of Marketing and Communications at the IFA added, “North Time and Data are a local company who provide an excellent service for the Association. Membership and Loyalty schemes have been very popular, especially in the football arena, and we hope to continue to develop our relationship with North Time and Data as our membership scheme increases in numbers.”
