Interim Management is very different from Consulting. Professional interim's take 'line responsibility' within the business.

Gary Wells is an experienced, professional interim manager having completed many successful assignments.

Interim managers are usually brought in to fill a 'gap' or deliver a specific project. The usual day rate is around £1,000 per day, which may sound expensive, but you don't have NI, Pension, Holidays, Cars or any other benefits to pay for. Interims don't have lengthy notice periods or redundancy payments either!

Professional interims will always work through a Limited Company and supply you with a contract.

The key benefits are:

Return on Investment - providing solutions that 'add value' or mitigate risk.
Speed - delivering work quickly for as long, and no longer, than is required.
Expertise - competent & seasoned knowledge & experience, from 'day one'.
Objectivity - clear perspective, without 'politics' or threat to incumbents.
Accountability - ongoing 'day-rate' working focused on satisfactory delivery.
Effectiveness - able to add value in often difficult situations.
Commitment - a 'career interim' undertaking assignments from start to finish.

The 5 steps to recruiting an interim are:

Step 1 - Entry - client and interim explore requirements
Step 2 - Diagnosis - interim researches current situation
Step 3 - Re-proposal - interim presents more detailed proposal
Step 4 - Implementation - interim takes responsibility for agreed role
Step 5 - Exit - interim ensures that objectives are met with client
