Northern Flags donated more than £2000 worth of signage to the #WeMakeEvents march on 11 August 2020.
The Leeds-based flag and banner maker provided signage displaying the #WeMakeEvents ‘Red Alert’ logo to protesters looking ‘to draw public attention to the plight currently being suffered by tens of thousands of people who work in the country’s events industry.’
Marches took place across the country, with particularly large demonstrations to be found in Leeds, Manchester, London, Glasgow and Belfast. Various activities happened as part of the day, including a silent march in Manchester and venues, such as Royal Festival Hall, Wembley Arena and The Mac in Belfast, lighting up red in support of the cause.
Northern Flags managing director Iain Clasper-Cotte said, ‘We have decades of experience working with the events industry. Some of those relationships are so well established; they have developed from clients into friends. That’s why it was so important for us to contribute to our local march. We’re proud to play our small part in this important fight. Vital for the events industry and also important for us too.’
