Interim Management and
Consultancy Services
Support designed for you
You may be asking, “What exactly is Interim Management and Consultancy Services?”
An Interim Manager or Consultant is a highly skilled, experienced professional in an area of expertise who is typically contracted to work for a defined period, versus full-time employees who are hired by the company.
Interim Managers or Consultants are hired into a temporary management role with relatively short notice to lead the Company through a specific project, for example, to integrate a new system, solve problems or achieve particular objectives, which effectively differentiates them from permanent employees.

Value of Interim Leaders
Interim leaders work full-time, but they have an end date. Interim leaders can serve a role to complete a project or to provide oversight until their expertise or oversight is no longer needed.
They are a temporary solution, and an interim leader is often chosen to fill an essential high-level leadership role because having a vacancy would be a detriment to the organisation. An interim resource would clearly be charged with ensuring the goals of the Company/Department were still in focus.

Lawrence
Managing Director
Andy is probably one of the longest standing colleagues I have known, having started our careers together 45 years ago! We have worked in comparable roles over this time, either as colleagues, seniors to one another or simply good friends as our careers have diverged or merged from time to time. What can I say, an entirely dependable, hard working, solid contributor, perhaps loyalty more than any other attribute stands out.
More often putting himself last in all scenarios as he supports, customers, colleagues, shareholders, selfless and dedicated. On the results side, many years of success, growth and development across multiple sectors would adorn a formidable CV. If you had the chance to engage with Andy I would recommend it, you would learn a lot and your company would undoubtedly benefit.
