Williams extends contract with Accenture.

Williams have announced that they have secured a three-year extension on their contract with sponsors Accenture that will take them beyond the eleven year relationship they have established.

The global management consulting, technology services and outsourcing company has been involved with the Williams team since 1995 and although the teams have suffered a difficult winter after losing BMW engines, the deal is the latest of twelve commercial agreements confirmed since December.

Williams' longest standing sponsor, Accenture has lent its expertise across a variety of strategic applications at the team's headquarters in an effort to streamline working practices and provide competence in a number of business critical areas in a perpetually challenging environment.

Although Williams' form over the past decade has been mixed, it has included two world championships, something which Accenture's chief marketing and communications officer, James E. Murphy is looking to build on in the future.

"We have enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship with the WilliamsF1 Team over the past 11 years," he said. "The sponsorship has been an excellent platform for Accenture, providing a first-class programme for entertaining clients, alliance partners, prospective clients and stakeholders at 18 race events in 15 countries on four continents.

"We are additionally pleased to continue our partnership by providing our consulting services to the WilliamsF1 Team in support of their business and racing activities. We are very pleased to be renewing our sponsorship for another three years."

Frank Williams was also delighted to have extended their contract with such a long standing sponsor. "Accenture is a world leader in management consulting, technology services and outsourcing," he commented.

"Today's announcement positively reflects a partnership which has delivered high performance solutions and proved mutually beneficial over many years. I am delighted that Accenture has decided to extend its support of the team and we aim to deliver some strong results on track this year in return."
