• Interim Management - Can you work on an interim basis?

    Yes
    Interim Managers work on a self employed basis on a fixed term contract with a client.  Interim management in the food industry is different from consultancy in that real responsibility is taken for the assignment. Interim managers don't just advise, they do the job!.
    A client may have a special project that needs managing, or has a management gap that needs filling urgently. e.g. a key manager on leave, a gap that needs filling whilst a permanent replacement is found or a special project. New situations are regularly faced where  a substantial amount of information needs to be understood in a very short space of time - and  the correct decision or recommmade.
    Work on longer term projects can also be completed on a subcontract basis.

    How long can an assignment last for?
    An immediate impact can be made without the usual honeymoon / induction period.  A gap can can be filled from 2 weeks to several months. The assignment is normally 5 days per week but can also be for just 2/3 days per week depending on the nature of the work and size of the company. For some types of contracts the assignment can be for a much longer period.  This role has been fulfilled  in the UK and abroad.

    Where do we work?
    Anywhere in the UK, and potentially worldwide. Often the nature of the assignment dictates that all the work is carried out at the clients’ site but it may be practical to complete some of the work off site and any contract will make provision for this.

    How is this charged?
    This is normally a fixed daily rate for the duration of the contract, which usually includes an element for expenses. We do not go onto the client’s payroll thereby saving costs such as national insurance, holidays, sickness, training, administration, company cars, pensions and other benefits.  Also, there are no costs at the end of the assignment.
    This is not an interm management and recruitment agency but as food technologists and food safety advisors with experience across a number of food industry sectors, an interim role can be performed for clients.
