4BR has been informed that the current Welsh, European, British Open and World Champions, Cory has signed a sponsorship deal with Bergerault Percussion.

Delighted

Chairman Austin Davies told 4BR: "We are delighted to be teaming up with Bergerault. We have been in discussions for several months, and we are really excited that we have been able to reach a mutually beneficial arrangement."

Record

Jean Paul of Muremo, sole distributor of Bergerault instruments in Europe was also delighted: "Cory's contest record speaks for itself but it’s their concert work that initially sparked the interest of the company. I'm sure that when Albert Bergerault, founded the company in 1932 he had no idea that the world's top ranked brass band would be exclusively playing his instruments some eighty years later."

Portfolio

MD Bob Childs is also delighted with the new partnership: "We have built up quite a portfolio of partners over the past few years and alongside Hercules Music Stands and York Musical Instruments, Bergerault percussion fits in very nicely indeed."
