Conversations with Sponsors: Watts Price Accountants

CONVERSATION #6: WATTS PRICE ACCOUNTANTS, HORSHAM, VIC

Watts Price Accountants is an accounting and taxation firm based in the town of Horsham, in western Victoria.

Earlier this week, the company sponsored a dog race held by Greyhound Racing Victoria at the Horsham racetrack.

After being placed on hold for around 10 minutes, I was instructed to write to a company partner, Gabi Freijah, with my sponsorship questions.

“You better let us know what you’re going to write beforehand,” the staff member warned me sternly.

Neither Freijah nor any other of the company’s multiple partners responded to questions about Watts Price Accountants’ policies regarding the sponsorship of events involving animals.

Watts Price Accountants gave no indication of whether they would sponsor greyhound races in future.

In the first 3 months of this year, 58 dogs have died at greyhound racetracks around Australia, with 19 of those deaths occurring at Victorian tracks.
