The international consulting company opened an office in Debrecen in November. “We are extremely proud that PwC Hungary has arrived in Debrecen, as their appearance also shows the city’s economic development. The company’s managers have indicated that they want to take an active role in the life of the city, thereby strengthening the social embeddedness of the company, for which we are trying to provide all the help” – deputy mayor Lajos Barcsa emphasized.
“In addition to corporate partnerships, cooperation with the city and educational institutions is of particular importance to us. In this regard, during Advent, it is a priority to help the activities of local primary schools. I think we have found a suitable place for these ten professional laptops in this institution” – said Kis Tünde, director of PwC Hungary, who handed over the devices together with Gábor Farkas, the company’s partner, and Andrea Borbély, the company’s manager.
