In your sector

Logistics & Distribution

Increased competition in UK logistics and distribution has been a major driver of change – with regulation and Brexit uncertainty posing major challenges.

The result is that businesses are seeking to differentiate themselves on service, while taking advantage of technologies like telematics and automatic driver safety.

Business needs to act fast to stay ahead in this competitive marketplace. Interim specialists have the skills and expertise to deliver the change that’s required – there has been a big increase in demand for interim leaders experienced in managing transformation.

Our logistics and distribution team connect you with high-calibre interims ready to start working towards your goals.

The acquisitive nature of some of the stronger organisations has increased the demand for specialist interim managers to support acquisition integration exercises. Equally in high demand, has been specialist expertise to onboard new technology technology to support service delivery and end-of-life operating system upgrades.

Our experience across the infrastructure sector is established and long-standing, supporting utilities providers going through regulatory change, to helping companies in readiness for the domestic smart meter roll-out, right through to placing interim business leaders into Train Operating Companies (TOC).
