Axis Group has become a silver sponsor of Sage Gateshead, the Tyneside music and entertainment venue.
Funding from sponsorship helps to support Sage Gateshead’s charitable local initiatives targeted at the region’s most deprived areas. Examples include Music Making for under fives, a Talented Young Musician programme and an over-50s Silver Music Class.
The sponsorship will see Axis branding in and around the venue and on its collateral. It will provide access to corporate entertaining space, annual ticket allocation and booking services, and advanced event information.
Jonathan Levine, Axis Group CEO, says that after last year’s management buyout (MBO) the Group is looking for sponsorship opportunities where organisations’ values mirror its own: “Sage Gateshead has a commendable focus on CSR, having made a £300 million contribution to the region in just ten years. The sponsorship provides fantastic opportunities for networking, client events and employee benefits.”
Sage Gateshead (pictured in the concourse, by Mark Savage) has been a client of Axis Security since 2011, and as of 2014 has had a joint cleaning and security contract through Axis Cleaning and Support Services.
