Ballyhoo Partnering with Police Federations Across The Nation

Press Release | |

We’re proud of our high client retention rate – many of our clients have been with us for years, and some for decades. The Police Federation is a good example: over the years we’ve worked with no fewer than nine county Police Federations across the country.

What Does This Say About Us?

Supporting several branches of the same organisation, and being recommended by clients to their regional colleagues, reflects the quality of our work and the strength of our ongoing support.

We currently have 25 clients who have been with us for more than five years. Long-term relationships like these give us a detailed understanding of each organisation’s goals, audiences and ways of working, so every update, redesign or new feature builds on what’s come before rather than starting from scratch. It’s why Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Staffordshire Police Federations all came back to us when it was time for a redesign. Each of their original websites stayed fully functional for around a decade before being rebuilt, a reflection of the quality of the initial build and the ongoing support behind it.

Police Federations We Currently Work With

Police Federations support members in their local county to navigate the daily stresses of work on the front line, providing guidance and resources for matters such as pay, conditions, safety and equality. We’ve been honoured to work with a variety of Police Federations across the country, creating websites and allowing members to access important information.

Cambridgeshire Police Federation 

Launched 2013, Website Redesign 2023

Back in 2013, we designed the first Cambridgeshire Police Federation website using Joomla, giving their officers and staff a place to access resources including legal advice, health retreats and welfare caravan stays.

Ten years later, Cambridgeshire Police Federation came back to us wanting to redesign the website to update the navigation and modernise. Having supported the website throughout the last decade, we had excellent insights into how the organisation works and their requirements. We therefore created the new website on WordPress, consolidating and streamlining content and updating the system so that members could more intuitively find the content they need.

Key Features:

  • Joomla to WordPress Migration
  • Bespoke design and development of custom WordPress blocks
  • Custom sponsorship banner and page management
  • Holiday home availability and booking form

Bedfordshire Police Federation

Launched 2015, Website Redesign 2024

Like the majority of the Police Federations we’ve worked with, Bedfordshire Police Federation have been clients for many years, benefitting from support and updates to their site.

We initially developed their website in 2015, and were approached in 2023 to discuss a redesign project. This gave us the opportunity to migrate the website to WordPress, to make it easier for admins to manage content as well as create a responsive website with the functionality and design that they had in mind.

The new website clearly displays member offers in various categories, as well as partners and advertisers that offer exclusive discounts or important information.

Key Features:

  • Joomla to WordPress migration
  • Bespoke design and development of custom WordPress blocks
  • Custom sponsorship banner and page management
  • Holiday chalet booking form

Staffordshire Police Federation

Launched 2015, Website Redesign 2026

We first built Staffordshire Police Federation’s website in 2015, using Google Analytics data to guide a responsive design at a time when mobile and tablet visits were rising. We also created a custom booking system for the Federation’s holiday homes, letting members and their immediate families check availability and book online.

Having supported the site for a decade, we were well placed to deliver its redesign in 2026. The project included a migration to WordPress, updated navigation and refreshed branding. Crucially, we also rebuilt the Federation’s holiday home booking system for WordPress, which shows live availability to members planning a stay.

Key Features

  • Custom holiday home booking app
  • National news feed
  • Sponsor banners

Coming soon to the portfolio.

Police Federations We’ve Worked With

Over the years we’ve also designed, built and supported websites for Nottinghamshire, Suffolk, Norfolk, Hertfordshire, Essex, and Devon & Cornwall Police Federations. Several came to us on recommendation from Federations we already worked with, and our work included Joomla to WordPress migrations, members-only areas, SMS alert registration and online polls.

“Always a first class service. Continue to provide an exceptional service and prompt turn around in maintaining our website.”
Helen Beavis, Office Manager, Hertfordshire Police Federation

“We are delighted with the website, it’s a million times better than we had before.”
Mick Richardson, JBB Secretary, Suffolk Police Federation
