PA Consulting (PA), the global innovation and transformation consultancy, announces that it has appointed Tim Newman and Simon Reid as new Partners in its Defence & Security team.
Tim has over 20 years’ experience in supporting public and private sector organisations on security issues and was previously a Director at Deloitte. He will focus on helping clients tackle serious and organised crime, partnering with policymakers, law enforcement, public sector bodies, and private sector firms on designing and delivering robust, future-fit solutions.
Simon also brings more than 20 years’ experience in supporting defence, intelligence, and national security clients with analytical services, application development, and systems integration. He joins PA from Deloitte and will specialise in advising PA’s clients on improved decision-making and analysis and optimised data-collection.
We are really pleased to welcome Tim and Simon on board at a time when combatting hybrid threats is a key part of keeping our nation safe and secure. Tim and Simon have both led major initiatives in the UK national security community. From addressing illicit finance and economic crime to helping nations overcome their most important operational challenges using data and AI, they both bring impressive experience that will add to our growing team.”
I’m pleased to join PA and bring my skillset and experience to the company’s growing national security team. I’ve been consistently impressed with both PA’s capabilities and client footprint, which gives it the rare ability to design and deliver effective solutions across complex challenges like serious and organised crime. I look forward to contributing to that mission.”
I am delighted to contribute to PA’s growing expertise in using data and AI to help clients address their most critical operational challenges and to keep the country safe in an increasingly unpredictable world. My previous experience will help the firm broaden its impact across Europe and among other key UK allies facing comparable challenges. And as a proud northerner, I’m particularly excited to help support PA’s growth in Manchester.”
PA’s defence and security team brings together consulting, engineering, and digital expertise to help clients modernise capability and develop solutions that build a safe, secure, and sustainable future. The team is expanding across the UK and Europe to meet increasing demand for innovative approaches to national security challenges.
