Sponsorships

One of our core objectives is to contribute positively to the community in which we live and work. We are actively involved in supporting a number of initiatives throughout the Midlands.

Leicester Tigers

Harvey Ingram are proud to have renewed its long-running sponsorship deal with leading Guinness Premiership rugby club Leicester Tigers, for the 2008/2009 season.

The firm is one of eight key non-competing club sponsors. It has been closely connected with the Tigers for more than 10 years, with many staff among the club's avid fans, including Senior Partner Stephen Woolfe. He said: "The Tigers' top-tier status, on and off the pitch, simply can't be understated and we are delighted to be maintaining our close links with the club for the 2008/2009 season. We have worked very closely behind the scenes with the Tigers for the past decade and are delighted to continue being involved with everyone at Welford Road. This season looks set to be another cracker and we are looking forward to watching it unfold."

To mark the firm's continued support, Leicester Tigers' chairman Peter Tom CBE, presented a signed first-team shirt to Stephen Woolfe, at half-time during the Leicester versus London Wasps' clash at Welford Road at the beginning of the season.

Curve

Harvey Ingram has been signed up as the first Founder Patron of Leicester’s iconic £60 million, state-of-the-art Curve theatre.

The new 1,200-seat venue was designed by world-renowned architect Rafael Vinoly and is the cornerstone of Leicester’s new cultural quarter. The stunning steel and glass site features a main 800-seat main auditorium and a smaller, flexible studio space with up to 400 seats. It has a magnificent open-plan foyer set among café, bars, backstage and office areas.

The theatre’s launch marks several years’ effort by the firm with a lot of behind-the-scenes work with all our teams working towards the theatre’s scheduled opening.

UKTI East Midlands International Business Awards 2008

Harvey Ingram are proud sponsors of the 2008 UKTI East Midlands International Business Awards.

In July 2008, we were unveiled as one of a handful of major sponsors of the prestigious UKTI East Midlands International Business Awards 2008. It forms part of the firm's overall sponsorship programme and helps highlight our international skills and links, particularly in India and the Far East. Senior staff will also take part in competition judging, being overseen by partner Jitendra Patel, during early October. The awards were formally launched in July and culminated with a glitzy ceremony at the Leicester Marriott Hotel in November 2008.

Leicestershire Business Awards

We have again shown our commitment to the development of Leicestershire’s business community by sponsoring the New Business Award within this year’s Leicestershire Business Awards.

Now in their 16th year, the awards aim to raise the aspirations of local businesses and stimulate healthy competition, whilst promoting Leicestershire as a successful and thriving base for new and growing businesses. Leicestershire is now experiencing a high volume of investment and regeneration and the awards are designed to accommodate small and medium to large businesses, new or old, in both the private and public sectors. The New Business Award aims to encourage and reward the establishment of successful new businesses.

The judges for this category look to identify a business that has set and achieved objectives within business plans whilst establishing a position of sustainable future profitability and success. They will also look at obstacles overcome, including managerial and financial performance and potential for growth.
