Paul Gershlick receives Electric Umbrella Corporate Ambassador Award!

We were delighted to recently recognise Paul Gershlick, Partner at VWV Law Firm in Watford, with our Corporate Ambassador Award.

Paul first introduced Electric Umbrella to VWV and their wider network after inviting us to perform online at their 2020 PING conference. Since then, a real friendship was struck and Paul, along with his team at VWV Watford, have gone above and beyond to support Electric Umbrella. Whether it’s having us return to perform at future conferences, supporting us with in-office charity events and lunches, or attending our shows, Paul and the VWV Watford team have bought into the Electric Umbrella way.

In addition to VWV Watford making Electric Umbrella their office charity of the year for two years running, Paul personally volunteers on a weekly basis at our Big Yellow Choir, where he was presented with his award by our CEO Mel and choir member Ali, earlier this month.

Upon receiving the award, Paul said: “I'm humbled to receive this award from Electric Umbrella, an incredible charity using music to do so much for the learning disabled community and bringing people together. VWV are so proud to support them. Their work breaks down barriers between people of different abilities or disabilities, redefining possibilities and perceptions. Helping the Big Yellow Choir is a highlight of my week - seeing the joy Electric Umbrella brings to so many people.”

Mel Boda, CEO said: “We’re so pleased to present Paul with our Corporate Ambassador Award. He has made his company, and their delegates at the PING conferences over the years, a little more Electric Umbrella, and is truly deserving of the award. Our members also love having him at our Big Yellow Choir every week. Thank you Paul!”

It was great to see so many of the team at VWV cheering Paul and our choir on at our show earlier this month, and we’re delighted to be able to present Paul with this award!
