Plant Manager – Automotive Manufacturer
Following a business acquisition which more than doubled turnover, an interim manager was appointed as MD to review and refocus the business. During this 6-month assignment our interim manager restructured the senior management team, carried out a thorough cost evaluation of the product lines, introduced business-focused KPI’s and implemented plans to achieve ISO certification. As a result of these measures, performance and output increased significantly.
Head of Procurement – Leisure Group
As Head of Procurement, our interim manager stabilized and streamlined the purchasing team and the processes, resulting in improved customer service and delivery as well as reduced costs. Using his mentoring skills and with the implementation of effective performance indicators, the interim manager was able to restore morale and introduce collaborative relationships. Having implemented significant one-off and recurring benefits in excess of 5 million Euro in the first 6 months, a plan was developed for further incremental benefits through effective use of SAP.
Head of European operations – Healthcare Products Manufacturer
Customer service needed improvement and the consolidation of manufacturing facilities required managing. Our interim manager took responsibility for European operations, reduced overdue customer orders significantly within weeks, closed one factory in France and consolidated operations in other countries.
