Birmingham 2022 joins forces with PwC

PwC has become the latest addition to the sponsorship line-up for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

With just over a year to go until the opening ceremony, PwC will be providing professional advisory services in the run up to the biggest sporting event to happen in the UK for a decade.

In addition to the provision of professional advisory services, PwC will continue to work with local charities and non-profit organisations to maximise the social and environmental impact of the Games and its footprint.

Kevin Ellis, chairman and senior partner, PwC UK said: “We are proud to be supporting the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games and excited to be working together with the Organising Committee to deliver the Games, and to help build inclusive growth through improved skills, jobs, diversity and social mobility.

“We share Birmingham 2022’s ambition of becoming a catalyst for change in the region. The Games provide a golden opportunity for our people to continue to volunteer their time and skills to support its legacy, and the many local charities and non-profit organisations that will benefit from its social and environmental impact. This also helps to support the development and wellbeing of our own people, which is at the heart of everything we do.”

John Crabtree, chairman of Birmingham 2022, said: “Welcoming PwC on board marks a great milestone.  We’re excited to be working together and will be developing plans that will contribute to our mission to be a catalyst for change.

“We have just a little over one year to go to the opening ceremony of the Games, the momentum is firmly with us. As we ramp up our delivery and overcome a challenging period, we look forward to the hope, opportunities, and excitement that these Games are bringing.”
