Background
West Ham United Football Club is a professional football club based in East London. Founded in 1895 as Thames Ironworks, the club adopted its current name in 1900 and has since become a staple of English football. West Ham plays its home matches at the iconic London Stadium in Stratford, having moved from the historic Boleyn Ground in 2016.
The club competes in the Premier League, England’s top football division, and is known affectionately as “The Hammers”. The club’s claret and blue colours are instantly recognisable, and its anthem, “I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles”, is a cherished part of matchday tradition.
Situation
As part of their ongoing commitment to preserving important historical records and enhancing operational efficiency, West Ham United FC approached Key Digital with a specialist requirement. The club needed a reliable and secure solution for scanning and digitising their Bondholder information, which was stored across seven physical folders.
Recognising the sensitive and valuable nature of these documents, West Ham entrusted Key Digital with the task of collecting, scanning and converting the files into a digital format for easier access and long-term preservation.
“Key Digital provided a seamless and professional service from start to finish – their attention to detail and secure handling of our historic Bondholder records gave us complete peace of mind.”
– Georgia Carthy, Supporter Engagement Executive

This collaboration reflects West Ham’s forward-thinking approach to data management and highlights Key Digital’s expertise in providing professional document digitisation services across the UK.
