Yorkshire cable cleat manufacturer connects with Opera North

North Yorkshire-based cable cleat manufacturer, Ellis has become a business partner of England’s only national opera company based outside London, Opera North.

Ellis, which exports to over 30 countries, has formed this partnership to showcase the nature of life, leisure and work in the region.

Richard Shaw, Ellis’ managing director, said: “Opera North, like Ellis and so many other businesses in Yorkshire, is globally respected for its excellence and innovation. By becoming a Business Partner we are proudly pinning our colours to a mast that celebrates and presents the very best of the north of England to a worldwide audience.”

Opera North Business Partners is a new membership scheme for business leaders keen to support the artistic, educational and community engagement work of the world-renowned arts organisation, as well as champion the region and the many benefits that come from doing business with those based in it.

Jo Graham, Opera North’s business development manager, added: “Opera North is a unique cultural and economic asset to Leeds and the wider Northern region. It’s a registered charity with a £16m annual turnover that contributes significantly to the region’s economic and cultural wealth, and is at the forefront of Leeds’ burgeoning international reputation.

“The Business Partner Scheme allows businesses to get closer to the work of the Company, while at the same time, joining together to form a formidable and united partnership that presents the north of England in the very best possible light.”

Ellis is one of 42 current Opera North Business Partners. Other members include Yorkshire Building Society, Yorkshire Water, KPMG and Arup.
