Hollis Sponsorship Awards 2010
We are delighted to announce that we have won a Hollis Sponsorship Award in the Environment Sponsorship category for our partnership with Philips.
"This partnership enabled The National Theatre to spend more on putting on plays and performances and less on electricity and maintenance. It's an investment that would be justified on economic grounds, but it's hard for arts organisations to find the money. Thanks to this partnership we were able to. We are immensely grateful for Philips far-sighted approach."
Nick Starr, Executive Director of the National Theatre
In October 2007 Philips and the National Theatre launched a five-year lighting partnership: Sense and Simplicity. As part of the agreement lighting equipment, to the value of £500,000, along with expertise and technology was provided free-of-charge by Philips.
By using Philips' skill, expertise and products throughout the NT building, together we are replacing and enhancing the National Theatre's external and internal lighting scheme and reducing energy consumption and costs with a state-of-the-art, dynamic and energy-efficient design.
