Background

Late 1980's

In the late 1980's Evans was the Assistant Director of the Foundation for Defence Studies and subsequently became a Senior Policy Consultant at the Adam Smith Institute.

1991-1992 Slovakian Political Advisor & Think Tanker

Evans was the Chief Economic and Political Adviser to the Slovak Prime Minister – Dr. Jan Carnogursky – and was Head of the Prime Minister’s Policy Unit. In the late 1980s he was the Assistant Director of the Foundation for Defence Studies and subsequently became a Senior Policy Consultant at the Adam Smith Institute.

1993-2002 Independent Healthcare Association

In 1993, Evans was awarded his PhD from the London School of Economics. A political sociologist specialising in economics, he has taught at a number of academic institutions over the years including teaching post-graduate students Social Policy at London’s Guildhall University and the Economics and Politics of the Future on the Strategic Command Course of Britain’s national Police Staff College at Bramshill. Between 1993 and early 2002 he was the Executive Director of Public Affairs at the Independent Healthcare Association in London where he oversaw the political affairs and public relations of the UK’s independent health and social care providers. In this role he was widely credited as being the major driving force behind the ‘2000 Concordat’ which was described by the Financial Times as the most “historic deal in 50 years of British healthcare”.

2002-2005 Centre for the New Europe

Between 2002-2005 Evans was the president and director general of the Centre for the New Europe.

2005-2009 The Stockholm Network

Tim Evans became the Director of Development at the Stockholm Network (SN) presumably around 2005 which is when he left the Centre for the New Europe. Evans role at the SN involved working 'across the spectrum of policy issues to ensure that the Stockholm Network continues to promote its work and develop support across a range of constituencies and interests'. Various sources cite Evans leaving the Centre for the New Europe in 2005, however his profile on the archived SN website shows that he 'retained his association' with the Centre for the New Europe, which had close ties with the SN, as a senior fellow. Presumably he left the Centre for the New Europe to join the Stockholm Network.

2007 Joins Mont Pelerin Society

Since 2007 he has been a member of the Mont Pelerin Society.
