Arican Advisory & Capital and CFN Consultants have announced a new affiliation agreement that will allow both firms to expand the range and depth of support they provide to clients navigating the defence and security sectors of Canada and Australia.
“The partnership between Arican and CFN significantly enhances our collective abilities to support cross-border advisory work and to support clients navigating the Canadian and Australian defence and security markets. This collaboration will leverage combined expertise to gain valuable insights into each local market, ultimately delivering enhanced opportunities and benefits to our customers,” Founder and Managing Director of Arican Advisory and Capital, Mark Stevens, stated.
CFN was founded in 1983 and is a Canadian consultancy specialising in aerospace, space, defence, maritime and public safety procurement. CFN's Partners and Associates have experience in dealing with the Canadian Armed Forces and the departments and agencies of the Government of Canada that engage in relevant procurement.
CFN also possesses experience with defence requirements, government procurement, contracting, Industrial and Technological Benefits (offsets), and the defence industry.
“Recognizing the importance of the Australian market, CFN sought a trusted partner to assist our clients in understanding the realities of Australia’s defence budgeting and defence acquisition processes. Consequently, we’re pleased to have the opportunity to introduce our clients to Arican Advisory & Capital. With over 150 years of combined experience, Arican’s Defence consulting experience represents the most significant body of work in Australian Defence Industry assistance, and opportunity pursuit. Equally, CFN looks forward to supporting Arican’s clients in accessing relevant Canadian Government procurement opportunities,” CFN’s Managing Senior Partner, Peter Studer, said.
