Pharma and biotech

Pharma and biotech leaders are navigating greater complexity across R&D, operations, manufacturing, regulatory, and commercial performance. Converting that complexity into competitive advantage requires faster decisions, higher quality, and a step-change in productivity and cost efficiency – driving value across the business and accelerating patient access to therapies.

Why PA

We are a trusted partner from strategy to delivery, bringing clarity to complex decisions across strategy and operations.

Underpinned by a heritage of innovation that spans the first at-home pregnancy test and the first breath-actuated inhaler, we bring strategy, science, engineering and technology together to solve critical business challenges from the outset through delivery, creating embedded solutions and enduring results.

Talk to us about

Clinical trials

Accelerate clinical development through end-to-end digitisation from protocol to submission. We design AI-enabled clinical platforms, optimise R&D operating models and strengthen participant engagement. The result is faster delivery, improved patient recruitment, greater productivity and stronger audit readiness across the trial lifecycle.

Regulatory affairs

Strengthen regulatory operations to accelerate approvals and navigate an increasingly complex global landscape. We combine real-time regulatory intelligence with streamlined submissions and digital platforms such as RIM to improve speed, accuracy and control, enabling faster market access.

Manufacturing

Develop integrated roadmaps for AI-enabled, sustainable and scalable advanced manufacturing across greenfield and brownfield environments. In partnership with Jacobs, we redesign manufacturing networks and deliver cost-out and productivity programmes, connecting strategy and execution to improve performance and build next-generation manufacturing capability.

Commercial

Drive maximum value through portfolio strategy, operating model transformation and next-generation commercialisation. We support asset prioritisation, go-to-market strategy, brand positioning and value proposition design to improve commercial success, investment decisions and sustainable growth through deeper market engagement.

IT, digital, and AI

Embed data privacy and cyber security into digital and AI transformation. We enable compliant AI through robust AI governance, secure regulated data ecosystems across clinical, manufacturing and commercial operations, and strengthen cyber resilience to support scalable, sustainable growth.

Quality and compliance

Transform quality and compliance into a competitive advantage. We embed risk-based quality strategies and digitise eQMS to strengthen control and consistency. Our approach improves inspection readiness and enables delivery of safe, effective products with greater efficiency and resilience.

Supply chain

Design and deliver intelligent, resilient supply chains that respond dynamically to demand and disruption. We deploy AI-driven planning, digital twins and automation to optimise network design, improving transparency, agility and sustainability while reducing cost, mitigating risk and strengthening performance.

Sustainability and decarbonisation

Deliver decarbonisation at scale across the value chain. We help reduce emissions, improve efficiency and design more sustainable manufacturing and supply models – balancing regulatory demands, operational performance and long-term resilience.
