ADECCO SET SAIL WITH AMERICA'S CUP

Adecco SA, a leader in HR Solutions, will be a “Supporter” and Official HR Solutions Supplier of the 32nd America’s Cup.

Building on its earlier role as HR Solutions Provider to the 31st America’s Cup in Auckland, New Zealand, in 2000, Adecco SA will assist with all aspects of Human Resources, through to the final Match in 2007.

The 32nd America’s Cup began on 4th September with the Marseille Louis Vuitton Act 1, the opening Act in a four-year programme of events that will culminate in 2007 with the Louis Vuitton Cup and the America’s Cup Match in Valencia, Spain.

Adecco will assist in staffing, personnel search and selection, and training for each of the Acts, in a variety of locations around Europe.

Commenting on the sponsorship, Jerome Caille, CEO of Adecco SA, said; “We are delighted to support the rich heritage of this, the oldest trophy in international sport, and believe that its spirit of challenge and pursuit of excellence resonate closely with the values that we at Adecco also value so highly.”
