Kirby joins from the infrastructure advisory consultancy The Nicols Group, where he was managing partner. Prior to this, he previously held roles as COO at Rolls-Royce, CEO of HS2 as well as senior positions at Network Rail and BAE Systems.

Together with our clients, PwC is tackling some of the most pressing infrastructure challenges, from transforming mobility infrastructure, enabling the energy transition, and sustainable infrastructure development.
“Simon’s experience and expertise will help our clients respond and adapt to these challenges, and his appointment reflects our continued growth and commitment to delivering sustained outcomes and human-led, tech-powered approaches to infrastructure delivery for our clients.”
Kirby added: “I am both delighted and very proud to be joining PwC at such a pivotal moment in the development of its Capital Projects and Infrastructure business. I’m very much looking forward to joining in July and meeting clients both in the UK and in other regions. I am passionate about infrastructure programme delivery and hope to bring some of my experience to help clients overcome the many challenges they face.”
