Nous Group: Where Smart meets Purpose

Julie Mercer, a Principal at Nous Group, has always sought to contribute to positive social outcomes; so, when the company’s founder, Tim Orton, tapped her on the shoulder, joining Nous’ growing UK team was a natural next step. Founded 23 years ago in Australia, Nous Group – a Bramble Hub partner – remains true to its original purpose: delivering positive influence and improving people’s lives through its management consulting services. This ethos, and the company’s service offering, are fuelling its expanding influence in the UK public sector.

Julie joined the team a year ago and now works alongside Tim (Managing Principal and CEO) and highly experienced Principals including Katharine Purser, Peter Horne and Simon Lancaster in its thriving public policy practice.

Like that of her Nous colleagues, Julie’s career trajectory has been impressive. Julie has always considered her work choices alongside her contribution to social wellbeing.

With this ambition in mind, Julie began her working life monitoring the use of public finances and tracking value for money at the National Audit Office (NAO), before joining Arthur Andersen and then Deloitte.
