Continuing their 25th-anniversary celebrations, Continent 8 Technologies, the renowned provider of global managed hosting, connectivity, cloud, and security solutions based in the Isle of Man, has announced an exciting sponsorship deal with local businessman and Isle of Man TT legend, Conor Cummins.
Under this sponsorship agreement, Continent 8 will support Conor throughout the rest of the race season, including the highly anticipated Isle of Man TT, scheduled to begin on May 29th. As part of the collaboration, Continent 8’s logo will be prominently displayed on Conor’s helmet, and the rider will also visit the company’s headquarters to meet the team.
Conor Cummins, known for his exceptional speed on the track, holds the record for the fastest-ever lap time on a Honda at the TT, averaging over 133mph. To further celebrate the partnership, members of the Continent 8 team and their families will have the opportunity to witness Conor’s skills during a practice session at the popular Creg Ny Baa, in an event organized by the company’s social committee.

The company, marking 25 years of reliable innovation as a leading infrastructure provider, maintains a global network of over 90 locations spanning four continents.
Expressing her excitement about the collaboration, Anna McChesney, Senior Marketing Manager at Continent 8 Technologies, stated, “The Isle of Man TT is an extraordinary motorsport spectacle, and Conor is not only a legendary rider but also a local ambassador. Continent 8 is dedicated to supporting the Isle of Man and its community, and this sponsorship deal allows us to do just that.”
She added, “As we celebrate our 25th anniversary this year, this partnership stands as one of the most thrilling ways for our team on the island to commemorate the occasion. Keep an eye out for the Continent 8 logo on Conor’s helmet, although spotting it at speeds of 200mph might be quite a challenge!”
Conor Cummins, the Isle of Man TT rider, expressed his gratitude for the support received from local businesses like Continent 8, emphasizing the significance of competing in the TT with their backing. He eagerly anticipates hitting the roads for the 2023 TT and extended his thanks to Continent 8 for their support throughout the race season.
