00:00:00.110 --> 00:00:01.852 align:center
The year is 1893.

00:00:02.192 --> 00:00:05.356 align:center
A man in Amsterdam funds an

00:00:05.396 --> 00:00:06.257 align:center
accounting office.

00:00:07.258 --> 00:00:08.780 align:center
He has a passion for numbers

00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:10.762 align:center
and knows how the game works.

00:00:11.623 --> 00:00:13.305 align:center
He also knows if you want

00:00:13.345 --> 00:00:14.766 align:center
to grow, you have to work

00:00:14.806 --> 00:00:15.307 align:center
together.

00:00:15.367 --> 00:00:17.249 align:center
And work together.

00:00:17.309 --> 00:00:18.811 align:center
And work together.

00:00:18.871 --> 00:00:20.693 align:center
And work together.

00:00:22.014 --> 00:00:23.656 align:center
He's gone through both successes and

00:00:23.716 --> 00:00:24.757 align:center
crises.

00:00:24.777 --> 00:00:27.300 align:center
Von Deenenco became Deloitte Dijkervondien.

00:00:27.450 --> 00:00:29.092 align:center
who met Liebrand, who in turn

00:00:29.132 --> 00:00:30.573 align:center
knew Koopas, a good friend of

00:00:30.653 --> 00:00:31.975 align:center
Price, who in turn was the

00:00:32.095 --> 00:00:33.636 align:center
second cousin of Waterhouse and would

00:00:33.676 --> 00:00:34.077 align:center
merge.

00:00:34.197 --> 00:00:34.998 align:center
And that would leave the three

00:00:35.038 --> 00:00:35.739 align:center
of them by now.

00:00:35.779 --> 00:00:36.660 align:center
They had a lot of staff

00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:37.701 align:center
in a lot of countries with

00:00:37.781 --> 00:00:39.142 align:center
an even bigger portfolio.

00:00:40.443 --> 00:00:42.466 align:center
Paper became data.

00:00:43.326 --> 00:00:46.730 align:center
Price-Waterhouse-Koopas became PwC.

00:00:47.351 --> 00:00:50.434 align:center
And then 2018 came round.

00:00:51.855 --> 00:00:54.178 align:center
Two thousand and eighteen!

00:00:54.938 --> 00:00:56.420 align:center
What have we experienced?

00:00:56.710 --> 00:00:58.272 align:center
What has it brought us?

00:00:58.853 --> 00:00:59.834 align:center
Where are we today?

00:00:59.854 --> 00:01:03.599 align:center
A heritage of 125 years that

00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:04.721 align:center
we can be proud of.

00:01:05.241 --> 00:01:06.583 align:center
We could choose to rest on

00:01:06.663 --> 00:01:09.427 align:center
our laurels, but 125 years of

00:01:09.527 --> 00:01:12.311 align:center
experience has clearly taught us not

00:01:12.411 --> 00:01:12.972 align:center
to do that.

00:01:13.673 --> 00:01:15.455 align:center
We're still on a journey to

00:01:15.495 --> 00:01:17.939 align:center
build trust in society and solve

00:01:17.979 --> 00:01:19.160 align:center
important problems.

00:01:20.202 --> 00:01:22.485 align:center
Okay, an anniversary is a time

00:01:22.525 --> 00:01:24.868 align:center
for looking back.

00:01:24.888 --> 00:01:26.490 align:center
Tracing your past successes.

00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.362 align:center
Contemplating the past, yesterday, last year,

00:01:29.402 --> 00:01:31.404 align:center
the past decennium, past millennium, the

00:01:31.484 --> 00:01:33.026 align:center
old boards, leading chairs, the first

00:01:33.086 --> 00:01:35.548 align:center
customers, the first success, trends abandoned,

00:01:35.708 --> 00:01:37.630 align:center
old news, the past, the past,

00:01:37.670 --> 00:01:38.230 align:center
the past.

00:01:39.992 --> 00:01:41.694 align:center
But what teaches us most about

00:01:41.734 --> 00:01:43.635 align:center
the past is today.

00:01:44.676 --> 00:01:47.119 align:center
Today we are all here, together,

00:01:47.579 --> 00:01:51.022 align:center
as PWC The Netherlands, bound together

00:01:51.122 --> 00:01:53.284 align:center
by our values and conscious of

00:01:53.324 --> 00:01:55.466 align:center
the changes happening in society and

00:01:55.707 --> 00:01:56.387 align:center
our network.

00:01:57.468 --> 00:01:59.110 align:center
With a new chair, a new

00:01:59.130 --> 00:01:59.250 align:center
board,

00:01:59.220 --> 00:02:03.266 align:center
and more than 5,000 involved PWCers

00:02:03.906 --> 00:02:06.190 align:center
that prove each day anew that

00:02:06.250 --> 00:02:08.212 align:center
it is always the people who

00:02:08.272 --> 00:02:09.855 align:center
make the difference.

00:02:10.075 --> 00:02:13.440 align:center
Enthusiastic, dedicated, digital,

00:02:13.460 --> 00:02:15.062 align:center
tech-enabled, and with

00:02:15.082 --> 00:02:18.486 align:center
125 years of experience.

00:02:19.628 --> 00:02:21.651 align:center
An organization that we can stand

00:02:21.691 --> 00:02:23.714 align:center
for together, that we can be

00:02:23.814 --> 00:02:26.658 align:center
proud of together with a history,

00:02:27.419 --> 00:02:28.360 align:center
but even better,

00:02:28.810 --> 00:02:29.954 align:center
With a

00:02:33.648 --> 00:02:34.009 align:center
future WC.

00:02:34.029 --> 00:02:36.880 align:center
125 years ready for the future.
