Leathwaite Interim
Leathwaite Interim understands the demands of this challenging economic
climate. Supported by our global search practice, we have access to seasoned
interim consultants with industry specialisations. They are used to being
parachuted into scenarios of change and uncertainty and objectively work toward
mutually agreed outcomes.
Providing either tactical ‘gap management’ or strategic change consulting,
interims are an invaluable way of harnessing expertise and specialist skills
without adding to permanent headcount. Assigning an interim to a line role can
provide the opportunity for both the client and candidate to assess suitability
before committing to permanent employment. Interim consultants are an economic
alternative to consultancies. Experienced interims are typically in the range of
£600-2,000 per day.
Our approach is to partner with our clients on the consulting and execution of
macro and micro engagements where specific skills and experience are required
for a period of time. Our clients are typically senior executives with the
following types of requirements:
|
Post merger integration |
De-layering / Restructuring |
