Some more local news incoming! Thanks to an introduction from our good friends and close neighbours at Cariad Marketing, we’re delighted to be supporting Hertford Museum as a proud patron, contributing to the preservation and promotion of our local culture and history. This partnership with Hertford Museum is consistent with our commitment to supporting the Hertfordshire community we call home, and we are excited to help preserve and promote the rich history and heritage it represents.
Hertford Museum: A Window into the Past
Founded in 1903, Hertford Museum is a beloved institution in the heart of Hertford, dedicated to showcasing the fascinating history of the town and its surroundings. Located in a charming, historic building on Bull Plain, the museum has preserved and exhibited artifacts that reveal the stories of Hertford’s past. Visitors can explore a collection that spans thousands of years, featuring exhibits on everything from Hertford’s ancient origins to its role in the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
Among the museum’s treasures are items that bring to life the local industries that once thrived here, such as brewing, malting, and trades of the Lea Valley. Its galleries also feature a range of artwork, household items, and personal memorabilia that illustrate the lives of the people who shaped Hertford. Not only does the museum preserve the area’s past, but it also serves as a vibrant community centre, hosting events, educational programs, and workshops to engage all ages.
Why ITbuilder Is Proud to Support Hertford Museum
Although the business was founded in North London, it settled in Hertford in 2007 and has occupied three different addresses in the town since, with its current headquarters in the historic towncentre close to McMullens Brewery. ITbuilder has really flourished here in Hertford, and is deeply connected to the local community. Supporting Hertford Museum is our way of giving back to the town that has played a foundational role in our company’s journey.
By supporting Hertford Museum, ITbuilder is helping to ensure that the stories, achievements, and contributions of Hertford's residents—past and present—continue to be celebrated.
Commitment to Local Causes with a National Reach
While ITbuilder operates nationally and serves clients across the United Kingsom, our roots remain firmly planted in Herts. We are passionate about supporting local causes and giving back to the community that has provided the foundation for our success. Many of our team members live here, raise families here, and participate in the life of the town. Our dedication to local causes stems from a belief that thriving, engaged communities are the backbone of successful enterprises and that supporting the area we call home benefits not only Hertford but also our wider network of clients and partners.
Proud to Be Part of Hertford
As ITbuilder celebrates this partnership with Hertford Museum, we also celebrate the town of Hertford and the wider East Herts area itself—a place filled with character, history, and a strong sense of community. We are proud to support an institution that embodies these values and reflects the spirit of Hertford.
Hertford Museum stands as a testament to our town’s rich heritage, and ITbuilder is proud to support this valuable resource as a partner and a patron.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Hertford Museum, an institution that embodies the history and character of our town. Hertford is more than just our headquarters; it’s our home, and we’re thrilled to contribute to preserving its heritage for future generations,” said James Naylor, Managing Director
