Advert: Everyone wants to go at Mach-1!

There has been a great response to the exciting partnership between Band Supplies and Mac-1 to help bands seek funding.

Band Supplies
 

Band Supplies Ltd has announced that they have had a fantastic response to their launch of their partnership with Mach-1, a company that specialises in securing funds from external trusts and sources for the benefit of local bands and schools.

"We've a had a great response in just a few days," Ronnie Tennant told 4BR. "It shows just how important an initiative such as this is. It will help community bands and schools and will hopefully secure the future of many organisations."

MACH-1

Mach-1 is one of the countries leading specialists in the sector, with an emphasis placed upon securing funds that support education and music provision in local communities and schools.

Lasting benefits

Band Supplies Director Ronnie Tennant told 4BR that he hopes the exciting partnership will have lasting benefits for bands all over the country: "One of the great problems faced by community bands and local schools is in gaining access to funding streams.

We have teamed up with Mach-1 to try and make sure they do not lose out at a time when every penny counts."
