Last week, Hertfordshire University played host to BUCS Conference 2017 and as a sponsor of BUCS and an official long term supplier of the Gym, we wanted to share what the Director of Sport at the University of Hertfordshire Sports Village, David Connell has to say about our partnership.

Hertfordshire University strives to be one of the leading Universities in the UK. It prides itself on providing fitness facilities of the highest standard for its students. When deciding upon a supplier of fitness equipment, The University of Hertfordshire wanted to make sure their chosen supplier was much more than that – a company continually prepared to invest in their research and development, both financially and emotionally, to ensure they had the latest and most up-to-date equipment.

At the onset of our partnership, back in 2009, it was important to the University that they continue to work with the most innovative solutions and a company that could supply and deliver the warranty and service they required. As part of our ongoing partnership, the University has continued to upgrade its offering year on year.

“We have been working with Matrix since 2009, and in that time we have seen significant growth in our student membership levels across initially one, and more recently a second facility kitted out by Matrix. We have worked in partnership with Matrix at all times and with their support, we have been able to provide a facility that has met our student’s needs and had a significant impact on the student experience of students at the University of Hertfordshire”

David Connell, Director of Sport at University of Hertfordshire Sports Village.
