At Orbital Net, we believe internet connectivity is just the beginning. That’s why we’re passionate about partnering with local organisations that fuel innovation and inspire growth in our communities by providing sponsorships where we can.
With a recent investment from Mobeus and a dynamic new leadership team, we’re excited to explore new ways to make a positive impact. We’re starting right here, in our own backyard! Stay tuned to see how we’re amplifying local voices and building a brighter future, together.

Applauding the Kent Teacher of the Year
Organised by Social Enterprise Kent, these awards celebrate the incredible educators who shape the future of our children. It’s a chance to acknowledge and applaud the dedication, hard work, and passion that teachers and school staff pour into their students’ lives. Kent is brimming with exceptional teachers who deserve recognition for their achievements.
We’re proud to be part of this inspiring process of identifying those who go above and beyond to support, encourage, and inspire the next generation.

We’re battling big with our Kent Cricket Sponsorship
Orbital Net is proud to step up to the crease as a sponsor of Kent County Cricket Club, also known as the Kent Spitfires! We’re excited to partner with this thriving local club, known for nurturing homegrown talent who play at the national level.
“This feels like the perfect moment to join the Spitfires on their journey,” says Orbital Net CEO Ben Doherty. “We take partnerships seriously, and we’re committed to building strong relationships with the club and its community.”
Kent has been our home for 25 years, so supporting a club we’re proud of was a natural fit. Orbital Net staff are already itching to cheer on the Spitfires at upcoming games. Our sponsorship unlocks exciting opportunities, including advertising and local business networking.
Cheering alongside the Gills
At Orbital Net, we share a passion for the beautiful game, making our partnership with Gillingham Football Club a perfect match!
The Gills hold a special place in the hearts of our staff, many of whom are avid fans. This season has been a rollercoaster (with that Wrexham win a true highlight!), and we’ve been there every step of the way, enjoying the action and camaraderie fostered by the club’s hospitality. But our partnership goes beyond cheering from the stands. The signed home shirt and ball proudly displayed in our office are a constant reminder of the strong connection we’ve built with the Gills.
Networking opportunities have been invaluable, allowing us to connect with fellow fans and businesses in the community. We’re particularly proud to see our logo displayed on the digital LED advertising boards around Priestfield Stadium. It’s a testament to our commitment to supporting the Gills and the vibrant football culture in Kent!
Supporting our local Rugby Club
At Orbital Net, we are passionate about supporting our local community, which is why we take great pride in our sponsorship of Canterbury Rugby Club.
As proud sponsors, our branding is prominently featured throughout the club. From eye-catching banners (featuring our signature witty internet puns 😉) to the fully branded bar area, now known as ‘The Orbital Hub,’ we have created a strong visual presence that aligns our brand with the club’s vibrant atmosphere.
Additionally, we have provided a custom-branded horsebox, which is used for match announcements, enhancing the overall game-day experience for players and fans alike. As part of our package, we have secured six season tickets, ensuring that members of our Orbital team can actively support and engage with the club throughout the season.
By investing in local sports, we are not only strengthening community ties but also showcasing our dedication to reliable, high-performance connections—both on and off the field.
Bringing the buzz to Herne Bay FC – more than just sponsors
Orbital Net, alongside our residential division, Vfast, is proud to be pitch-side board sponsors at Herne Bay FC’s electrifying MBS Stadium. This isn’t just any stadium – it’s a hub for passionate fans, boasting a fantastic atmosphere and a newly refurbished bar to fuel the cheers (and maybe some post-game celebrations!).
Herne Bay Football Club, affiliated with the Kent County Football Association, is a force to be reckoned with in the Isthmian League South East Division. We’re thrilled to be a part of their journey, adding to the electric atmosphere at Winch’s Field.
Sporting sponsorships – we’ve only just begun!
Sponsoring sports is a win-win situation but the true impact goes beyond the bottom line. It’s about fostering a spirit of competition, camaraderie, and a healthier tomorrow.
