On the track the PwC team of 30 marshals from 4 countries was working together during the training sessions every weekend for the past 3 months to become a truly one team. This was a great demonstration of PwC team spirit and Values reflected in the Firm’s purpose.

To be in charge of Sector 1 was a great opportunity for me and my colleagues to have new experience and apply what we have learnt in practice, the leadership, motivation, team building. This was possible with the team which consists not only of professionals in the various spheres, but also strong personalities and people with ambition and enthusiasm a truly team spirit and outstanding performance.
