More than 350 guests from the business and cultural sectors joined acclaimed film and stage actor Patrick Stewart at an awards ceremony in Town Hall Birmingham last night to celebrate the Midlands’ best partnerships between business and the arts.
The 10th Jaguar Land Rover Awards for Arts & Business, presented in association with The Birmingham Post and hosted by Sarah Falkland of BBC Midlands Today, recognised collaborations across a range of categories with the Land Rover Board Member of the Year category as well as the overall Jaguar Champion of Champions 2009 award going to Colin Wells of Prologic plc and community arts organisation, Multistory.
As winner of the Land Rover Board Member of the Year category, the judges selected Colin Wells and Multistory as the Jaguar Champion in recognition of Colin’s leadership and commitment as a founding board member of Multistory – an organisation which aims to bring together communities and artists to develop creative solutions to local problems in Sandwell. Although initially recruited to the board of The Public, after it went into administration in 2006, Colin subsequently became a board member for the resulting new organisation, Multistory. The judges felt that by “sticking with it” through bad times as well as good, Colin exemplified all a good board member should be and declared him Jaguar Champion.
