ING Wholesale Banking is once again delighted to be sponsoring The Discerning Eye Exhibition. It is the seventh consecutive year in which we have been associated with this important event in the UK′s art calendar.

ING Group is one of the world′s leading financial institutions with offices in more than 50 countries and 114,000 employees. ING Wholesale Banking is responsible for providing a range of services to ING's corporate and institutional client base, while other ING Group businesses in the UK cover direct savings banking, asset management and real estate.

Our connection with the visual arts is well established. At our London offices we have a fine collection of Modern British art, British watercolours and historical portraits. In our global headquarters in Amsterdam and in offices around the world we have an extensive collection of contemporary Dutch art. We have many groups of visitors to the bank to look at the collection and we also use our exhibition space to show the works of promising young artists who are seeking to make a name for themselves.

As a result of our sponsorship of the annual Discerning Eye exhibition we have benefited from projects undertaken in partnership with The Discerning Eye and Arts & Business under the latter's New Partners Scheme. This year's project, The Drawing School, involved 35 members of ING staff being tutored to draw by artists from The Prince's Drawing School.

ING feels strongly that its art collection should be used in imaginative ways to benefit the local community. Our collection and the permanent collection at the National Maritime Museum are currently being used by GCSE level art students as sources of inspiration for a 2006 exhibition Re-inventing, co-sponsored by ING and Wimbledon School of Art. Also in 2005, with our colleagues in ING Real Estate Investment Management, we ran Invisible City, a project during which children from a school in Hackney were given access to high profile City buildings. Artwork inspired by these visits will hang at our offices in a selling show in December 2005.

We wish The Discerning Eye every success in its 2005 exhibition. ING is proud to support a charity whose dedication to individuality and excellence has ensured, for the fifteenth consecutive year, an immensely professional and highly regarded platform for the exhibition of artistic talent from across the country.

CEO, ING UK and Ireland
