Management Team

James Wilkinson, Managing Director

James Wilkinson has spent his career helping clients to enhance their businesses through the implementation of sophisticated analytic solutions.  From his early years with Andersen Consulting he moved on to head the Data Modelling Group at Ernst and Young and latterly the UK business of eLoyalty – one of the leading global Customer Relationship Management consultancies worldwide.

James has been responsible for the implementation of many successful CRM projects at major organisations around the world.

From his experiences in helping organisations embrace CRM, James was convinced that there had to be a way of leveraging better returns from their investments, and thus PCA was born.

Allan Engelhardt, Solutions Director

Allan Engelhardt is an experienced Base Management (Marketing and Customer Insights) professional who delivers commercial results.

For the five years prior to forming The PCA Group, Allan was exclusively focused on Customer Relationship Management (CRM).  He assisted large European and North American companies define and implement their Customer Relationship strategy leading large projects usually critical to the business and often involving a substantial business transformation effort.

With a background in experimental physics, Allan has always been conscious of the challenges of extracting information and insights from very large data volumes and of applying these insights in real-time.  From his CRM experience he realized that few organizations were applying their customer insights efficiently in the business operations.  Convinced that this was a key element to achieve successful return on the CRM investment, he founded The PCA Group.
