KPMG goes to the rescue of Largo Winch!
April 2009

KPMG chose Largo Winch as the iconic image of the campaign to launch its new service: "Business Emergency Solutions".

Thanks to "Business Emergency Solutions", KPMG, the leading French audit , accounting and consulting services company (source: Profession Comptable 2009) offers to help companies in the face of emergency situations. If the need arises, the consultant can be deployed anywhere in the world, in an extremely short time, a team of seasoned professionals. Their aim: to help companies to manage the most serious crises effectively. For the launch of this new offer in France, KPMG sought the help of their most unlikely client: Largo Winch.
