The team was officially launched in March 2011 at Melbourne's iconic Southern Cross Station, where the team's striking new livery and colour scheme was revealed - reflecting synergies between Wilson Security's corporate image and ultimately highlighting our award winning mobile patrol technology, Wilson Security Rapid.
As Australia's premier motor sport category, V8 Supercars has significant international and national coverage in both print and televised media, thus promoting our brand within the marketplace and with employees.
The 2011 championship began on 10 February in the Middle East at Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina Circuit and will finish on 5 December at the Homebush Street Circuit. If all the provisional events are confirmed it will be contested over 26 races at 15 events. These events will be held in all states of Australia and in the Northern Territory as well as in the United Arab Emirates, and New Zealand.
Wilson Security Racing's drivers for season 2011 will be Tony D'Alberto, David Wall and John Bowe.
Our involvement with V8 Supercars affords us the ability to provide our staff with unique opportunities that are not normally present. Admission to the V8 Supercars Championship Series rounds including team merchandise, 'behind the scenes' pit tours, hot laps and the opportunity to be 'up close and personal' with the drivers are just some of the activities that our employees are offered.
This level of staff recognition supports Wilson Security's goal of being an employer of choice therefore sustaining our maxim for employees in that "your career is our future".
Clients too are presented with exciting opportunities through our sponsorship programme such as corporate hospitality, pit tours, grid walks, interactive pit experiences and interactions with the drivers and team. We support our clients with offering these opportunities as part of their own internal employee recognition programme. Our staff and customer feedback confirms the success of this overall initiative.
Furthermore, we offer support to community and charitable programmes through our involvement with V8 Supercars. Our company ethos in supporting these programmes is supplemented by our involvement with Wilson Security Racing through the provision of team driven activities and prizes.
