We are delighted to announce Chris Paxton has joined as a Director, merging his consulting practice into Pacific Strategy Partners, bringing our total staff numbers to around 35 in Sydney and Melbourne. This brings two big benefits to our clients.
- As Australia’s largest independent strategy consultancy, PSP now has the scale and resources to deliver to the most demanding engagements, while keeping the advantages of being an independent boutique.
- Chris and his team bring deep skills in Consumer Goods, Private Equity, Operations Improvement and Merger Integration.
This merger marks a key milestone in PSP’s growth story. Since our foundation in 2003, we have assisted many leading organisations resolve complex issues of strategy and organisation and successfully implement change, and grown the business from 22 to 35 staff including 7 Directors across offices in Melbourne and Sydney. We are building on a fantastic track record of delivering tangible benefits for our clients, and see further opportunities supporting clients with strategy, strategy implementation and operational improvement both within Australia and at some point into Asia. We are continuing to recruit for next year – especially in Melbourne where our model has attracted a number of experienced consultants and has resulted in a significant increase in approaches.
The growth also builds on our diverse experience providing pre-acquisition and post-acquisition support to private equity firms and corporate clients. We are an advisor to Australia’s leading private equity firms, and have supported them on over 70 deals across a wide range of sectors spanning from resources and mining services through to retail and healthcare. The merger also adds real strengths in consumer goods and retail, with even greater depth of experience from numerous engagements with major global and Australian FMCG and retail companies, as well as process improvement and organisational design capabilities, with experience in delivering cost savings and operational efficiencies.
While embarking on this new stage of growth, we will continue to drive our ‘low leverage’ model as our key point of differentiation. Although typically competing with the globally branded firms and upholding the same level of quality, we differentiate ourselves by deploying our extensive Director experience to client problems on a hands-on basis to deliver better results more cost effectively than our larger, global counterparts. Our unique approach of staffing a higher mix of senior consultants and driving smaller teams to work closely with clients and provide commercially relevant advice has resonated strongly with our clients.
