"There can be few business activities which can
be better justified as a good investment and a useful marketing and promotional
tool; as excellent internal and external PR and as an obviously acceptable
way in which commerce can contribute to social well being. Arts sponsorship
is a great British success story, copied throughout the world. Long may
it continue." Antony Thorncroft, Financial Times
