Award winning partnership stands test of time

22 April 2009


Oxford Inspires is pleased to announce that leading law firm Blake Lapthorn has renewed its Corporate Membership for 2009. The firm, which has an established history in Oxfordshire, has been a long-standing Corporate Member and was the major local corporate partner supporting last year’s The Planet Earth Season and Earth from the Air exhibition at Oxford Castle. The strength of this partnership was recently acknowledged with Best Sponsorship (under £50,000) at the prestigious Hollis Sponsorship Awards 2009.

Jonathan Lloyd-Jones, Senior Partner at Blake Lapthorn said: "As a firm with a demonstrated commitment to Oxfordshire we are proud to be involved in our community and to be part of local celebrations and programmes. Through working with Oxford Inspires we have been able to develop many valuable and exciting opportunities, such as the Green Breakfasts series. The link between businesses and cultural organisations remains even more important at this time.”

Oxford Inspires exists to develop and promote the cultural life of Oxfordshire in all its forms. The charity’s aim is to involve everyone more fully in Oxfordshire’s rich cultural life and support exciting initiatives and imaginative projects. The work of Oxford Inspires is made possible through partnerships with arts organisations, community groups, the universities, and the public and private sectors alike.

Kathelene Weiss, Director of Development for Oxford Inspires said: “The long-term commitment from Blake Lapthorn has been vital to helping deliver exciting events and exhibitions and in supporting our work as the cultural development agency for the county. With its help, Oxford Inspires will continue to promote Oxfordshire’s artists, festivals, and museums locally, nationally and internationally.”
