John Birt, Baron Birt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 2006, Lord Birt (of blue skies thinking fame) joined the consulting firm Capgemini. ... Lord Birt, former director-general of the BBC and Prime Minister's strategy adviser, has been appointed adviser to the Board of Directors of Capgemini UK plc.

Serco on the Trusted Borders? website says "it is a British company which provides a range of key services to the UK Government and law enforcement agencies. The Mycroft intelligence system helps immigration officers track 'people traffickers' around the world, while Programme Cyclamen helps Revenue and Customs officers to detect illicit radiological material passing through ports and airports - reducing the chance of a terrorist 'dirty bomb'.
Serco is also a strategic partner to the UK Serious Organised Crime Agency, provides command and control systems for police forces and runs high-security prisons and prisoner escorting services. We are a partner in the Atomic Weapons Establishment, which maintains Britain's nuclear deterrent, and provide combat training and maintenance for British military helicopter pilots.
In short, across a wide range of key services vital to maintaining public safety and national security, Serco works as a committed partner to the UK Government."
