Central Government and Wider Public Sector

The interim managers we provide lead programmes and strengthen senior management teams across Central Government and the wider public sector. Our clients come from areas such as education, emergency services, healthcare and governmental departments. Our success comes from our extensive network of elite professional interim managers with whom we have long-lasting relationships. The individuals within our network are not only vastly experienced in their chosen field, but are also practiced interim managers. We’re also specialists in attracting top private sector talent into public service – looking beyond the CV to make sure the cultural fit and stakeholder management ability are there.

The public sector is facing unprecedented change over the next few years. The fundamental shift in the way services are delivered will create a different type of resourcing solution. The reliance on expensive consultancy firms will decrease but potentially the need for change programmes driving through efficiency and doing ‘more with less’ will increase. The right candidates providing strategic advice as well as delivering outcomes in areas where there is no specialism in-house will be key to shaping the public sector’s future of service delivery and efficiency.

Recent examples of interim roles we have successfully recruited for are:

• Chief Executive, Chief Operating Officer
• Facilities Management
• Finance Director/CFO, Project and PFI initiatives
• Finance Manager/Specialists and Financial Controllers
• HR – up to Director, including Learning & Development, Organisational Development and Change Management
• IT Director
• Operations Director
• Procurement Manager and Director
• Programme/Project Management and PMO
• Communications Manager/Director

We’re also able to deliver work through a number of framework agreements. To explore a talent pool that is already making an enormous impact for many of our clients, please contact:

Energy and Utilities

We lead the way in delivering interim expertise to companies during periods of skills shortages, whether start-up or high growth and mature stage companies. We have a strong track record of providing Director-calibre individuals to cover business critical projects, skills gaps, permanent vacancies which have yet to be filled, change management processes and restructures. Furthermore, we have a deep understanding of the sector and the challenges it faces.

We know how crucial the next 15 years are going to be for the Power sector. Up to 80% of its workforce are set to retire or leave, just as the impact of the Government's Renewable Strategy will be most keenly felt. The issue is industry-wide and extends right through the supply chain, creating intense competition for skilled personnel. Not only is technological innovation within the sustainable and renewables sector growing at an unprecedented level, soaking up specialist skills sets, but the global nature of power companies means that key skills are migrating abroad to support talent gaps in overseas industries. Interim managers are going to play an ever-more important role in the sector – and we can help you find the best.

This enables us to match the requirements of our client quickly and cost effectively.
