The Brief

What do you need to do to win?

richard_partridge_contentOur aim is to involve art colleges and their students in a commercial environment, through sponsorship of an art competition. The winners and runners up of the competition will see their art featured as part of our advertising campaign.

Provide a piece of visual art that would support and illustrate one of the following themes:-

  • Leading the way – we are the leader ahead of our competitors and provide industry-leading products for our clients – we are "ahead of the game".
  • Working together/support – we team-up with advisors to provide their clients with the right financial solution for their growing business needs – partnership, teamwork and positive relationships.
  • Innovation/Originality – we meet the ever-changing demands of growing businesses through providing innovative solutions to complex problems.
  • Flexibility – our financial solutions are flexible and adaptable to meet the individual requirements of our client’s financial needs and their future businesses growth.
  • Sustainable relationships – we have maintained relationships with our clients over long-periods of time – in fact some up to 20 years – we are always there for our clients and are constantly maintaining our relationships.
  • Expansion – we are constantly widening our range of products and services.
  • 2012 Olympics – we are promoting the 2012 Olympics and showing how we can help prepare athletes and businesses for the opportunities than will come.
  • Industry sector specialisation - we already have a specialist team for temporary Recruitment companies and will soon have a specialist team for the Haulage/Logistics [road/rail/air freight sectors]
