Interim Management

Looking for someone to temporarily plug a senior management or skills gap in your business; help implement a critical strategy; or plan and execute a major change?

Look no further.

We've been fulfilling these roles in SMEs across the South East since 1989, and are now one of the first ports of call for companies needing to hire an experienced and skilled pair of hands on a short-term basis.

Our interim managers operate on a part-time or project basis and represent a totally flexible and cost-effective solution to almost any temporary senior management employment problem.

They work across all the main business disciplines - finance, sales and marketing are particular strengths - and have had many years experience of either building and running their own businesses or working at Board level in large PLCs as well as local SMEs.

They give smaller companies access to a wide range of management skills and expertise without the need for full-time employment. They also provide owner/managers with a trusted and reliable sounding board and an independent view of the business without being 'in their face' the whole time.

These are some of the reasons clients use our interim management service:

• Manage a major change such as a merger, restructuring or company disposal
• Fill a short-term skills gap
• Help effect a change in business culture
• Draw up and execute a business development plan
• Lead specific projects
• Implement cost and staff reductions
• Crisis resolution and business turnaround

The Benefits

Our interim managers offer clients major benefits. These include:

• Accessibility & speed: We can have someone in place within a few days, or even hours in special circumstances. And their experience and expertise means they're able to hit the ground running.
• Specialist skills: All our people have operated for years at a senior level in both large and medium-sized companies, and many possess a range of skills and breadth of experience that would normally be beyond many smaller businesses.
• Objectivity: Our people bring fresh and impartial thinking to your business. They're free to concentrate on what's best for the business rather than their careers!
• Legacy value: Although we may only be with you for a few months, we can usually leave a legacy of transferable skills and contacts which will be of long-term value to you and your team.
• Flexibility: The length and nature of the contract can be tailored to meet your specific needs.
• Simplicity: Our entry and exit procedures are uncomplicated, and not subject to the usual employment law constraints.
• Value: By using our skills and expertise to help deliver a desired result, we provide clients with a clearly measurable return on investment.
