Steel Benders UK (SBUK) are proud to have supported a sellout music festival by the sea at Seaton Carew, where more than 8,000 people attended over two days.
The Middlesbrough-based steel bending, profiling and forming specialists sponsored the Open Jar Tribute Festival 2024, which was held just a couple of miles from where the company is in the process of moving to.
The event was over a September weekend when things got underway on the Friday afternoon and concluded in front of a sellout 5,000 strong crowd on the Saturday.
It featured tribute acts to some of the biggest names in music such as Kings of Leon, Amy Winehouse, The Beautiful South, Coldplay, Oasis and Abba.
“We are thrilled to have been a part of such a fantastic event,” said Tania Cooper, managing director of Steel Benders.
“The Open Jar Tribute Festival brought people together to enjoy great music and create lasting memories and I’d like to say a huge well done to co-organiser Joe Franks and the team.
“It was an honour to contribute to the success of this community celebration and we loved being there to enjoy the whole experience.”
The Open Jar Tribute Festival was held for the second time and SBUK branding could be seen across the site, where there was a food village, stalls and fairground rides as well as the brilliant music and bars.
SBUK is committed to supporting local events and initiatives and the festival was a resounding success, drawing a large crowd of music enthusiasts from across the region.
And Joe Franks, co-organiser, said: “I would like to say a huge thank you to Steel Benders for sponsoring The Open Jar Tribute Festival 2024.
“It was an honour to have such a prestigious company involved with our event and it was a pleasure to deal with Tania and the team from our initial meeting right through to event day.
“I’d just like to say a special thank you to Tania for making this happen and making the partnership for this event such an enjoyable one.
“I’d also like to say a big thank you to Steel Benders’ finance manager Ashleigh Glass, who throughout all our communications was nothing but a joy to deal with. We are looking forward to holding the Tribute Festival again next year.”
Steel Benders operate in a wide-range of markets including marine, defence, renewable energy, offshore, petrochemical, manufacturing, architectural and civil engineering.
And the company are moving over from their Middlesbrough home for the last 21 years to the former Caparo and forge plant site on Brenda Road, Hartlepool, creating new roles and a host of new opportunities.
