British Open champions set to gain blue chip logistical help to maintain worldwide profile.

Cory in action
 

The reigning British Open Champions Cory will prepare to defend their title at Symphony Hall boosted by the news of an exciting partnership deal they have agreed with international design and display business, Displayone.

Branded

Based in the Rhondda, the company has agreed to provide a branded vehicle and cover the transport costs for all Cory’s performances.

It will enable the band to enjoy professional logistic help from a business that has gained a worldwide reputation for its work with blue chip brands such as Marks & Spencer, Harrods, Wallis, Pierre Cardin, Cacharel, Selfridges and Estee Lauder.

Significant

Cory Band Manager Austin Davies told 4BR: "We are delighted to have agreed this significant partnership with Displayone, who like Cory are a Rhondda based organisation with a global reach.

We look forward to this ongoing partnership agreement and talks are already underway for additional future projects together."
