LONDON, June 24, 2011 -

PA Sourcing Team Grows by Over
50 Per Cent

PA Consulting Group is delighted to announce that Phil
Morris has joined its shared services and outsourcing practice.
Phil is a leading figure in outsourcing and is a regular speaker at
industry events. His appointment will further strengthen PA’s
position as one of the leading shared services and outsourcing
consultancies.  

Phil brings with him a wealth of experience. He was most
recently Managing Director of Equaterra Europe and Asia, the
American company that purchased Morgan Chambers in 2007. Prior to
that, Phil was CEO of Morgan Chambers, the largest specialist
sourcing advisory company in Europe. As a founder member of Morgan
Chambers he was a key part of growing the company from five people
at inception, to over 100 people in eight countries. He has worked
for clients in 26 countries across the globe, and across different
sectors including: consumer goods, banking, manufacturing,
pharmaceuticals, and telecoms. Clients include BP, UCB Pharma,
Rolls Royce, and Novartis.

Working extensively in IT and business process outsourcing
transactions, Phil has helped organisations improve their
businesses and exceed their goals and ambitions. As part of PA, he
will continue this work and help organisations utilise sourcing to
improve performance, as well as reposition extant business
relationships to provide the flexibility required in today’s
economic environment.

Jonathan Cooper-Bagnall, head of the shared service and
outsourcing practice at PA, said: “I am delighted that Phil is
joining PA. He brings a wealth of experience and insight which will
further strengthen our capability, and he will help us to continue
our work in leading the market’s thinking on shared services and
outsourcing.

“We have seen an increase in sourcing related work and as a
result, are growing our team by over 50 per cent. We are hiring
industry leaders such as Phil Morris and Shaun Dunphy, who joins us
from Alsbridge where he was Senior Manager of the HR Shared
Services and Outsourcing Practice.”  

Phil commented: “The outsourcing market is constantly maturing
and organisations are looking for help to harness the benefit
sourcing/outsourcing and shared services can bring, not just at the
point of transaction or change but for the realisation of long-term
benefit.  PA is known for its excellent work in sourcing and I
am looking forward to joining such a client focused team. The
dedication to ‘doing the right thing’ for the benefit of clients,
coupled with the creativity and innovation that the company can
deploy, means truly innovative but totally practical solutions for
service and cost improvement.”
