“Following the success of Light Up Reading, and partnerships with Reading Rep theatre and John Madejski Academy (JMA), we have built on a strong and growing base of supporting and partnering arts organisations and education.
“This is not just a one-off – it is a growing area of importance to the business. We are reaching out across the whole community to go above and beyond to promote and support the synergy between arts and business to make Reading an even more enriched place to live, work and play.”
Martijn adds: “We like to think we have gone beyond the norm to support the arts in Reading.”
