James Watson joins Argon & Co as partner

08 October 2024 Consultancy.uk

Management consultancy Argon & Co has announced the appointment of a new partner in the UK. James Watson brings more than a decade of consulting experience to the operations strategy and transformations specialist.

Argon & Co is a Paris and London headquartered consulting firm specialising in operations transformation services, while focusing on supply chain, procurement, finance and shared services work in particular. Founded via a 2018 merger between French firm Argon Consulting and UK-based Crimson & Co, Argon & Co’s team now comprises over 550 staff – having more than doubled in size since launching a growth strategy in 2020.

As Argon & Co looks to build on that momentum, it has further furnished its UK offering with a new partner appointment, in the shape of James Watson. Arriving after more than 11 years with Newton, where he was latterly a director, he will bolster the consultancies plans at home and overseas.

To that end, Argon & Co UK Managing Partner Ben Wright noted, “James’s expert knowledge of the manufacturing industry will bolster our current offering in the UK . We are very pleased to have him on board, supporting not only the UK’s growth plans, but global too”.

Looking ahead, Watson will lead Argon & Co’s UK manufacturing function – something he has accrued a decade of expertise in already. During his time at Netwon, he developed deep subject matter knowledge in the retail and food and drink industries; and previously partnered with clients to design and deliver transformation programmes with sustainable improvement.

Confirming his appointment via a post on LinkedIn, Watson added, “After 11 years at Newton it was time for a change of scenery. I would like to thank all my clients and colleagues from my time there, I have learned loads from all of you! I'm hugely excited to be joining the UK office at Argon & Co but equally excited to become part of their network of global offices. Their focus on supply chain consulting aligns perfectly with my passions and I am looking forward to learning from their experts across all aspects of supply chain and a huge array of sectors.”
