Platinum Partners

Accenture, the global management consulting, technology services and outsourcing company, employing 11,500 people in the UK and more than 133,000 people in 48 countries worldwide, has recently renewed its Platinum level sponsorship of Northern Ballet Theatre.

Phil Swallow, Accenture Partner, has been delighted at the overwhelming success and higher than anticipated attendance rates at client events during Accenture's first year of sponsorship.

"We have major offices in Leeds, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Manchester, so for Accenture the North of England is an increasingly important part of our growth strategy and a major source of talent for our business.

“There is an ever-growing sense of confidence and creativity about the North that we are tapping into as a business, which we think Northern Ballet Theatre reflects and represents. As a result, the relationship between our two organisations is a powerful one and we will continue to support them in any way that we can."

Building on this success, future events for the company are planned in Leeds, Manchester, London and at the Festival Theatre, Edinburgh where they will focus on the one-week season sponsorship of 'The Three Musketeers' in March 2007.
