'We are delighted to be supporting the Royal Shakespeare Company on their tour of A Midsummer Night's Dream. We get many approaches requesting sponsorship and we evaluate them all on degrees of excellence, the values and benefits they bring us and the profile we receive. All of the projects we sponsor help meet different business objectives. The RSC is most impressive for its professionalism and prestige and the way in which the company always tries to add value.'
