Website | Business profile: | This business is an independent firm founded in 1996, and has earned an excellent reputation supplying professional, reliable and competent management on a temporary and sometimes permanent basis. The company’s expertise lies in rapid and accurate definition of assignment needs and in matching the best available independent executives to that requirement.
Leading specialists in interim management provision and recruitment services, the company’s primary purpose is to supply, senior independent executives to companies in need of short-term managerial strength on a national and international basis.
The owner and the business development director have many years of interim management supply experience which means that the Company has amassed an extensive ‘candidate-bank’ of personally-vetted, heavyweight interim managers from which the very best available candidate for the job can be selected quickly, and with the minimum of fuss. In order to maintain the exceptional standard of the ‘candidate-bank’ the company continue to interview many new potential interim managers every week.
Interim management is the ideal solution for any company that is heading for, or going through, a period of crisis, change or transition and which may feel the need for some hands on managerial support during this critical phase in their business. The company’s skill lies in using the extensive combined experience and precise knowledge of client requirements to accurately find suitable people in the minimum amount of time. Typical management disciplines include: general management; finance and accounting; sales and marketing; production and operations - in fact any senior functional post.
The interim management pool is available in Great Britain and continental Europe, at short notice, to clients requiring additional management strength - for as long as is required to complete the task. The executives managed by the company have experience in line and functional management across a wide variety of industries, including public and private sector bodies, and all the major disciplines.
Interim managers on assignment abroad are carefully chosen for their fluency in the required language and for their knowledge of the business practices of the country concerned. Since trading commenced, the company have dealt with many enquiries from major UK and European companies and a significant number of assignments have been successfully completed.
The company is constantly enhancing its reputation for quality and reliability in servicing enquiries and the excellence of its proposed independent executives.
