A COLNE Valley company has struck a chord with one of Huddersfield's leading musical organisations.
Broad Oak Solutions, a headhunting agency helping firms recruit top level personnel, has sealed an unusual deal to sponsor Venezuelan-born Natalia Luis-Bassa, principal conductor of Huddersfield Philharmonic Orchestra.
Natalia, who was one of the conductors helping celebrities take up the baton in the BBC television programme Maestro, began her musical studies at the age of 15 when she studied oboe at the world famous Orquesta Juvenil de Venezuela.
Winner of the Elgar Society Prize, she has also worked in the UK and abroad with orchestras based in Bolivia, Scotland, India and Oman.
Executive search expert Paul Mulcock, who heads Broad Oak Solutions and is vice-president of the Huddersfield Philharmonic Society, said he had decided to sponsor Natalia to show other companies in the town how they could benefit from supporting local organisations.
He said: "The orchestra has only survived for 162 years by getting people to support it.
"I know markets are tough, but local companies can get something back by supporting their communities. I only hope my business lasts as long as the Phil!"
Mr Mulcock graduate of Huddersfield University, has more than 20 years experience in the sector. |
