We know how to design roles that motivate workers and get the best results for the business. We know how to create agile teams that can ‘drop in’ when needed to solve problems, as well as teams that form a permanent part of the business.

INTERIMCONNECT is a network of skilled and experienced professional interim managers. Since the network was formed in 2002 we have had held regular regional networking meetings covering all sectors and disciplines. We connect clients with interim managers to provide a flexible, professional resource to make changes and solve problems rapidly. As a network we do not add an agency mark up to the interim’s day rate which means significant recruitment cost savings, to you. The top three benefits Interimconnect offers to “hirers” of interims are: 1) A personal service for finding the right interim manager for your project. This starts from a firm understanding of your business requirements. A rapid short list of available interims against your specification then follows. 2) Cost savings – members of the network pay the administrative costs of the network meaning the hirer saves the normal interim agency “mark up”. All of our interims operate through limited companies and hold their own PI Insurance which can be also be cost efficient. 3) You have direct access to the interim managers you find in the “top” interim providers or on Turnaround panels. To find the right Interim Manager or if you are interested in becoming an Interim Manager please call Mike Measures on 44 (0) 1428 714367.
