Ropetackle and Pilbeam Construction celebrate new partnership

Ropetackle Arts Centre has kicked off the new year on a positive note, announcing Southwick-based Pilbeam Construction as its latest business sponsor.

Chartered building company Pilbeam Construction is a well-established local success story, with strong foundations. Trading since 1955, the company has built a reputation for delivering high-quality, complex projects on time and within budget.

Pilbeam Construction specialises in the design, build and management of projects within the residential, commercial, health and care, education, heritage and ecclesiastical sectors.

Martin Allen, Chairman of Ropetackle Arts Centre, said: “We’re delighted to welcome such a prestigious company to our growing group of business sponsors and really look forward to working with them over the coming years. Pilbeam represents many of the values we hold dear, including a strong community-focused ethos and an excellent ‘can-do’ attitude.”

Alan Corbett, Managing Director of Pilbeam says: “We’re looking forward to supporting Ropetackle which is only down the road from us.

“We know it brings a lot of joy to people living in Shoreham and beyond. We’re very proud to support this registered charity as it continues to deliver a fantastic programme.

“The Pilbeam Construction team love working on projects locally that make people’s lives better, so they will really love supporting Ropetackle too.”

The new partnership reflects a shared commitment to excellence and supporting the local community, and marks an exciting step forward for both organisations.

Attracting audiences of more than 50,000 per year, supported by 600 plus Friends and Patrons and 80 plus volunteers, Ropetackle plays a unique and established role at the heart of the community, contributing around £1.4m annually to the local economy.

Ropetackle’s sponsorship scheme allows businesses to maximise brand awareness within the venue and brochure, capitalise on Ropetackle's digital presence and contribute to their corporate social responsibility objectives.
