What have Croydon-based contractor R Mansell and Pablo Picasso got
in common?
Not a lot. But last week Mansell hosted a private viewing of the exhibition of works by Picasso which has marked the opening of the town's new Clocktower art gallery. Mansell is one of the corporate sponsors of the Croydon arts centre. Managing director Geoffrey Bell explains: 'We believe in supporting the local community in this kind of way.'
By chance, the Croydon event coincided with the sale in New York of a Picasso portrait from his Blue Period for close on œ20 million. Construction is still going through its own Blue Period. And Mansell might even be green at the thought of that kind of margin on its œ100 million annual turnover.
