Williams F1 is pleased to announce an extended and upgraded sponsorship agreement between the team and longstanding partner, Randstad Holding N.V. ahead of the 2012 season.

Founded in 1960 and headquartered in the Netherlands, Randstad provides flexible recruitment and human resources services, placing more than half a million people each day in employment. Following its acquisition of Vedior in 2008, Randstad is now the second largest HR provider in the world representing more than 90% of the global human resources market. Randstad operates in over 40 countries with a network of more than 4,000 offices worldwide. Their mission is to take the lead in shaping the world of work by developing the true value of human capital, a philosophy and commitment to people shared with the AT&T Williams team.

Today’s announcement takes Randstad into its seventh year supporting the team following five extensions and upgrades since 2006. The agreement will see a significant increase in Randstad’s presence on the cars and throughout the team which will be revealed with the 2012 livery launch.

On the new agreement, Frank Williams, Team Principal of AT&T Williams said, “I am thrilled that Randstad are continuing their support of the team. They have been an important and valued partner throughout our business over the past six years and I am looking forward to an even stronger partnership next year. This announcement highlights the team‘s success in delivering a strong return on investment and Randstad’s commitment to us despite a difficult year on the racetrack. I’d like to thank them for their support which we will look to repay as we work our way back up the grid.”
