PricewaterhouseCoopers announces new name

The consulting division of the international firms of accountants PricewaterhouseCoopers announced on Sunday that it would undergo a name change after its separation from the mother company.

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Consulting said in a statement released in New York that its new name would be Monday.

”PwC Consulting had announced in March that it would change its name and brand identity to mark its separation from PricewaterhouseCoopers, and to distinguish its management consulting and technology services from those of its competitors,” the statement read.

The president and chief executive of PwC Consulting, Greg Brenneman, said the PwC brand had given the company a ”great heritage”.

”Our new name — Monday — is exactly what we want it to be as we create our new business: a real word, concise, recognisable, global, and the right fit for a company that works hard to deliver results.”

PwC Consulting is one of the world’s leading providers of management consulting and technology services. It has more than 32 000 employees and offices in 52 countries on six continents.

No date for the final separation of the consulting company from PwC was given. – Sapa
