As an innovation and transformation consultancy with over 2,800 specialists operating globally, PA believes in the power of ingenuity to build a positive human future in a technology-driven world.

Founded in 1943, PA is proud of its strong focus on working with the public sector and how its innovative thinking and breakthrough technology can help clients achieve enduring results. PA’s unique Global Technology and Innovation Centre in Melbourn was opened in 1970, playing a critical part in creating the Cambridge Phenomenon where the city has become a leading centre for the UK’s technological companies.

Within local government, PA’s work has included the adoption of Amazon consumer technology to deliver front line services, investigating how retail techniques can help build the libraries of the future and determining what the impact of robotics will be in front line social care.

Through Argenti, PA’s market-leading approach to Technology Enabled Care Services, PA is proud to have supported over 15,000 of the most vulnerable individuals in local communities whilst delivering over £11m net savings in the last five years to help Councils focus their resources on other priorities. This has been done whilst securing a 98% recommendation from service users on the quality of services they receive.

PA’s work in the sector has been recognised through MJ and LGC Awards for the authorities it supports, helping councils secure funding in national initiatives (such as the LGA’s Social Care Digital Innovation Programme) as well as receiving citations in local, national and international press.”
