A new teaming agreement signed today between public affairs firm Pyne and Partners and defence consultancy Arican will create a one-stop shop for businesses in the defence industry seeking advice and support.
The agreement will mean clients of Pyne and Partners and Arican can have access to both companies’ capabilities in the domains of tendering, strategic and corporate advice, government relations and communications.
Former Australian Defence Minister and Chairman of Pyne and Partners, Christopher Pyne, said it was an exciting move for Pyne and Partners and Arican.
“Pyne and Partners has been building a reputation for excellence over the last two years with offices now in Sydney, Canberra and Adelaide. We pride ourselves on our expertise in defence, technology and space and some of our clients are the top companies in these industries in Australia,” Pyne said.
“Pyne and Partners and Arican’s combined knowledge and expertise can be of great benefit to defence industry - we are Australian companies looking to nurture and grow the defence industry in Australia and I look forward to working with Arican closely."
Managing Director of Arican, Mark Stevens, said Arican has 250 engagements with international and local defence industry companies and is Australia’s most active pure-play defence industry adviser.
“Arican brings to the table expertise in the intricacies of defence industry strategy, campaigning, tendering and capital raising,” Stevens said.
“By combining our experience and expertise with Pyne and Partners’ knowledge of Government, policy, strategic advice, communications and the media, we are able to cover all the requirements defence industry needs,” he said.
