Top accountancy firm Hentons Panayi is partnering with Music Week Awards 2019 to sponsor the Live Music Agent category.
Coda’s Alex Hardee scooped the gong last year, delivering a memorable speech in the process. Duking it out this year are Angus Baskerville at 13 Artists, Matt Bates of Primary Talent, ITB’s Lucy Dickins, UTA’s Jules de Lattre, CAA’s Summer Marshall and Jon Ollier, Rebecca Prochnik at Earth Agency and Coda’s James Whitting.
Hentons Panayai’s team of music industry specialists work with live agents to offer a personalised service with emphasis on strong technical accounting. The company’s philosophy centres on creating and maintaining accounting systems that deliver seamless processing and reporting of financial information.
In a statement, Hentons Panayi said: “We are proud to be associated with Music Week’s 2019 Awards and to be the sponsors of the Live Agent Of The Year category. Hentons Panayi has over many years worked with incredibly talented agents and whoever is awarded the 2019 trophy will be a worthy winner.”
