Corporate Champions
Liam Neeson with John Barrett and Maire Campbell from Coca-Cola Bottlers (Ulster) Ltd
The Lyric has an excellent track record when it comes to developing creative partnerships with companies in Northern Ireland.
Coca-Cola Bottlers (Ulster) Ltd and The Irish News have worked with the Lyric over many years and they both recently announced their support as our founding corporate partners of the new theatre.
“We are delighted to be joining the Lyric’s campaign at this pivotal time for the theatre.” said Coca-Cola’s Maire Campbell.
“Like the Lyric, Coca-Cola is committed to supporting both community and individual development and our two companies are playing their respective roles in the emergence of a confident, vibrant and competitive Northern Ireland.”
“Coca-Cola and The Irish News have bought into our vision that a new Lyric will be good for business and is supporting us throughout our redevelopment campaign,” said Lyric Chairman Mark Carruthers.
“They see the benefits for themselves in being associated with the Lyric at this time. This will be a high profile campaign and there will be considerable celebrity involvement throughout the various stages of the project.”
Representatives from Coca-Cola and The Irish News recently met with Liam Neeson in London at which the deal was sealed.
“To have the support behind us of two of Northern Ireland’s most respected companies lends great credibility to our campaign. Together we are creating a theatre that will benefit not just actors and audiences, but the wider business community also.”
