With the demise of the Regional Development Agencies across the UK, UKTI needed to quickly develop a capacity to deliver support to foreign direct investors coming into the UK.
When PA Consulting won the bid to deliver this support, they needed experienced Inward Investment professionals to help guide and deliver capacity to their operations.
Gareth John Consulting was asked by PA Consulting to come on board to help develop the FDI delivery model for the UK, as well as manage the pipeline of foreign investors from the Americas.
Throughout the 3 year assignment, we have lent support to a range of UKTI initiatives across Trade, Marketing and Investment, as well as looking after senior stakeholder relationships with the Devolved Administrations of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

When PA Consulting won the UK FDI delivery contract in 2011, we only wanted to partner with the most experienced professionals in Inward Investment.Gareth John came to us highly recommended, and we have now worked together for over 3 years, during which he has worked on a number of projects for us and has always provided an excellent service across a wide range of investment promotion skills.
