He is now a Consultant for Sovereign Strategy; director for Mining Technology and director of AEA Technology [2]. He became Baron Moonie of Fife in May 2005.
His appointment as a director of Sovereign Strategy attracted attention, as both Alan Milburn and Moonie were fast-tracked by a government appointments watchdog to take up work with the Labour-donating lobbying company.
