Overview

PA Consulting is a British consultancy founded in 1943 that combines management consulting with product design and engineering, an unusual pairing that lets it take a client from strategy through to a physical or digital product. Its work spans government and defence, health and life sciences, energy and utilities, consumer and manufacturing, and its Cambridge technology centre has designed everything from medical devices to the original mechanism behind the Trident razor. Headquartered in London and majority owned by Jacobs since 2021, it employs several thousand consultants, engineers and designers.

Products

Defence and Security
Advisory and technical work for defence and national security customers requiring cleared staff. Clearance requirements limit who can bid at all and how quickly teams can be assembled, which keeps the competitive field small.
paconsulting.com
Health and Life Sciences
Advisory and device development for health services, pharmaceutical companies and regulators. The combination of regulatory understanding and hands-on device engineering in one supplier is genuinely rare, and it is what wins the firm work others cannot bid for.
paconsulting.com
Digital and Technology
Digital product design, data platforms and technology delivery for client organisations. It sits between the strategy work and the engineering centre, and it is where most of the firm's headcount growth has come from.
paconsulting.com
Product Design and Engineering
Design and development of physical products, from medical devices to consumer goods, through the Cambridge technology centre. Very few consultancies can actually build what they recommend, which is the firm's most distinctive capability.
paconsulting.com
Management Consulting
Strategy, operating model and transformation advice for public and private clients. Government work is a large share of the practice, where the firm competes against both the big four and the specialist public sector consultancies.
