Double sponsor delight for Whaley Bridge

The Whaley Bridge Band has gained a double sponsorship deal.

Whaley Bridge
 

The Whaley Bridge Band has announced that they have obtained a further 12-month sponsorship agreement with Bill and Lynne Wilson of Cedar Finance – and to make the news even sweeter the amount of the sponsorship has been doubled.

Delighted

Musical Director Marcus Jones told 4BR: "In the current climes we are delighted that Cedar Finance has agreed to support the band for a further 12 months, but for them to agree to double their input is truly astounding.

We are very aware that corporate sponsorships are few and far between and that many a higher section band would be envious."

Re-growth

The support received has helped the band with their ongoing projects for re-growth. In 2008 the band was down to just 9 members, but now has 33.

Potential

Bill Wilson of Cedar Finance added: "When we first agreed to support the band we saw the potential. That is now beginning to show and we hope that by further supporting them the building blocks they have put in place will continue to develop to an even brighter future."

Become a supporter and help make our future secure.
