The leading provider of complete unified communications solutions have worked with the club for the last seven years and help FGR operate safely and securely by providing Ofcom fully-licensed radios to our security, catering and first-team staff on a matchday – as well as supporting us with text messaging for our ticketing and communications with our supporters.

Behind-closed-doors matches have provided their own challenges to ensure the safety of the first-team players, media and staff – and the importance of communication between staff members has been more important than ever.

Based in Stonehouse, Gloucestershire, Lister Unified Communications are one of the largest, most experienced, telecommunications suppliers in the local area – and provide their services nationwide to over 1500 clients.

Mark Smith, Stadium Manager at Forest Green Rovers said: “The team at Lister Unified Communications have been a massive help to our efforts to ensure safety at the innocent New Lawn. 

"Having full-licensed radios is extremely important – and helps our security team on a matchday operate professionally and efficiently. The radios are heavy duty, reliable and give us peace of mind that matchdays can be ran smoothly and effectively."

Simon Gardner of Lister Unified Communications, added: "It’s great to see Forest Green play knowing Listers are helping make it a safe environment for all and making communications for the whole FGR team easy and secure.

"In this world of mobile devices, licensed radios can be missed as the ideal way to communicate instantly, securely to large groups."
