In your sector
Education
In today’s truly global market, educational institutions face significant challenges – not least funding and finances, Brexit, student satisfaction and ever-growing competition from home and abroad.
Our Education team helps HE, FE and schools navigate the complex landscape of change. We can connect you with interim expertise to deliver your priorities in areas such as admission, student recruitment, marketing, commercial, finance and IT.
We work with both academic leaders and have a proven record in single interim appointments and consultancy projects, through to building teams to deliver high-level, complex change and transformation.
Our consultants build long-lasting relationships with education leaders, helping your organisation find innovative answers to the complex issues it faces. We can help educational institutions source the expertise needed to deliver technological change and diversify income streams – which is often a priority for both HE and FE sectors.
With competition so fierce and talent so scarce, the right interim talent can be delivered to your organisation by partnering with us.
