PA Consulting’s purpose is bringing ingenuity to life. The company was founded in 1943 by Ernest E. Butten, Tom H. Kirkham and Dr David Seymour, who used a new approach to people management that stressed human ingenuity to increase productivity in munitions factories during World War II. Known then as Personnel Administration for its focus on training, PA grew to become the world’s largest management consultancy by headcount in 1970.
The company has been delivering world-class technology and innovation for much of its nearly 80-year history. World firsts included the first private digital telephone exchange, first hand-held portable tonometer, and the first breadth-actuated meter dose inhaler.
Today, PA employs more than 4,000 people globally. Its diverse teams of experts combine innovative thinking and breakthrough technologies to progress further, faster.
PA works with organisations across seven industries: consumer and manufacturing; defence and security; energy and utilities; financial services; public services; healthcare and life sciences; and transport.
It operates globally from offices across the UK, Ireland, US, Nordics and Netherlands. I
PA was one of the fastest growing major consultancies in 2021.
It is a member of the United Nations Global Compact, a non-binding UN pact that encourages businesses to adopt sustainable practices, and the WePROTECT Global Alliance, a network of governments and companies aiming to tackle online child exploitation and abuse. PA produced the first two Global Threat Assessments for WePROTECT.
