INTERIM & CONSULTING
Temporary leadership and practical consulting to help your business stabilise operations, improve performance and make change work.
INTERIM MANAGEMENT
Temporary management responsibility for an operation or team during change or a transition period. We agree the priorities, decision-making authority and scope, with a structured handover planned from the start.
CONSULTING
I work with you to understand the problem, agree a solution and help put it into practice. The work can include clearer routines, better decisions and support for the people making the change.
Review the movement of stock, orders and information. Clarify receiving, fulfilment and delivery handovers, including who owns exceptions and the next action.
Review priorities, recurring work and operational trade-offs. Agree practical improvements and relevant measures, using the information your business has.
Help people understand their priorities, decisions and responsibilities. Build routines for communication, follow-up and development.
Turn an agreed plan into day-to-day action. Test changes with the team and plan the transfer of responsibilities and operational knowledge.
Listen to the people doing the work and map the problem, constraints and current responsibilities.
Set the scope, authority, deliverables and how progress will be reviewed.
Put the agreed changes into practice, support the team and adjust where needed.
Plan a clear transfer of responsibilities, decisions and the knowledge needed to continue.
The scope may include an improvement plan, operating routines, clear responsibilities and a handover plan. We agree the work before starting.
Unclear ownership, repeated approvals and information spread across messages can make everyday work harder. I start by understanding the process with the team, then clarify the handovers and remove unnecessary steps.
Sometimes a clearer process and a shared record are enough. Where a gap remains, an existing app, a small custom solution, automation or AI may help. The business need comes first; connections depend on what existing systems support.

An example from my international operational leadership roles.
Disrupted inbound supply and limited transport capacity put product availability under pressure.
I assessed alternative routes and transport options, including selective use of air freight. Product value, margin and additional transport costs were considered when setting priorities.
The goal was not to move every product at any cost. It was to improve availability where the additional expense could be justified commercially.
A logistics decision must also make business sense.
