The British Olympic Association (BOA) has announced its continued partnership with Deloitte UK up to and including Tokyo 2020, extending the contract which started in 2007.
Services will be provided through a combination of consultancy projects and Deloitte secondees embedded within the BOA’s core team.
Deloitte is already working with the BOA in its planning and readiness preparations for the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games and the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games as well as providing strategic advice to support the BOA to create and implement a long-term digital strategy.
Deloitte will continue to bring new approaches to help the BOA strengthen its position as a financially sustainable business and competitive global brand.
Bill Sweeney, BOA CEO, said: “Deloitte played a vital role in shaping and driving our programmes in the build-up to and during Rio 2016. There are a lot of independent and interactive components that deliver success on the field of play and Deloitte were key in helping us to manage this process. We share a long and successful relationship and it is therefore with great pride that we can look ahead to PyeongChang and Tokyo, putting in place innovative and bespoke solutions to help reach our ambitious targets.
This extended partnership also takes us into a new strategic phase where we will review various initiatives which will allow the British Olympic Association to evolve and grow as a fully integrated and sustainable business model.”
David Sproul, Deloitte chief executive and senior partner, said: “Our Deloitte British Olympic Association secondees in Rio played critical roles in supporting Team GB athletes to deliver the best ‘away Games’ performance ever. Renewing this partnership will help us further the impact we have on the BOA as an organisation, whilst providing unique opportunities for our people and clients over the next four years.”
