UK firms set to bring in more interim managers

An increasing number of companies are set to reign in interim managers to boost their operations in the coming months and help to stabilise their organisation, it has been revealed.

The skills and experience that many interim managers have will be relied upon by companies who are aiming to get the most out of staff and boost productivity and profits without increasing their overall expenditure, the Interim Partners poll found.

Doug Baird, MD of Interim Partners, said that businesses expect far more interim senior management roles to be created in the area of change management and turnaround, which will in turn generate many roles for interim sales directors and sales managers.

"It does suggest that those who specialise in taking businesses out of distress will continue to be able to get a premium for their services," he added.

Meanwhile, recent data published by Ipsos MORI for the Interim Management Association shows that the demand for interim sales managers and other leaders increased by 22 per cent in the three months to September.
