We’re very excited to announce that Bruntwood, the family-owned and run property company that specialises in creating places for business, has joined our line-up of Opening Sponsors together with Autotrader, First Street, INNSIDE by Mélia, LWC, Q Parks and Thornley Groves.
With over 140 properties across Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and Birmingham, Bruntwood believes that their success is linked to the success of the communities in the cities where they operate. That’s why every year, Bruntwood and the Oglesby family shareholders donate a figure in excess of 10% profits to charity, cultural, environmental and medical initiatives.
The initial investment of our Opening Sponsors into the programme at HOME ahead of opening is crucial – as a registered charity, we rely on the generosity of our members, supporters, trusts and foundations to help us to bring our work to life, share it with the widest possible audience and keep our ticket prices affordable.
Marla Cunningham, Development Director at HOME, said: “HOME is delighted to count Bruntwood as one of our first sponsors. Their support ensures that our inaugural season of art, film and theatre thrives. We are also looking at engaging Bruntwood staff and many of their clients around the city – it’s fitting that this supporter of arts and culture in the city will back our new arts centre and the work that goes into it.”
Sally Hill, Head of Brand Strategy at Bruntwood, said: “HOME is a fantastic addition to Manchester’s already vibrant cultural landscape and their multi-discipline programme reaches out to a broad audience. Through our partnership we have the opportunity to connect our staff and customers to rich cultural offer as well as supporting Manchester’s artistic ambition.”
