Interim Managers

Albemarle introduce new PCG-approved contracts

Addressing many of the contractual issues relating to businesses operating outside the IR35 environment, Albemarle, in partnership with Professional Contractors Group (PCG), has developed a standard 'IR35-friendly' contract for interim managers that has been reviewed and approved by tax experts and commercial lawyers. It is hoped that the new fully-validated contracts will save time and offer peace of mind to all parties.

'Interim Manager of the Year' award goes to an Albemarle Interim Manager.

The Recruitment Employment Confederation's prestigious 'Interim Manager of the Year' award, has been won by Prit Ahluwalia for his outstanding assignment at Npower Business, one of the UK’s largest Energy Suppliers - read more here. For the third time in 4 years, this award has been won by an interim manager represented by Albemarle Interim Management plc; previous winners coming from the Telecommunications, Healthcare and Not-for-Profit sectors.

Albemarle's Interim Network– keep us posted!

New people. New opportunities. These are key to continued and growing success for us all. And by far the easiest, most satisfactory and rewarding way to find them is via networking.

Over the years our interim managers have introduced many new contacts, both clients and fellow interim managers, that have played a part in making Albemarle the UK's leading provider of interim management solutions – a position that benefits us all.

We place great value on personal recommendation, so if you have any new contacts or opportunities you'd like to introduce, get in touch with your personal Albemarle consultant, who'll be happy to offer a reward for any introduction that leads to a successful placement.

Albemarle Interim Mangement plc is the UK's leading company dedicated to providing Interim Management solutions. Highly respected in our marketplace, Albemarle is the first (and often only) port of call for a wide range of private and public sector organisations needing interim assistance - and for interim managers looking for the best opportunities and in-depth professional support from their agent.

To date, we have successfully placed interim managers in over 6,000 assignments, and our job board typically features around 120 interim opportunities, at any one time. A further measure of our success is the volume of repeat business we are able to offer our interim managers – and the number of projects that are extended, by highly satisfied clients.

Building long- term relationships

Recognising that the availability of high quality interim managers is key to our continued business development we are always looking for more talented professionals. Once we have identified talent we support and build long term relationships that offer real benefits for all both client and interim manager.

Continuity of employment

For many of our interim managers, one of the key benefits of teaming up with Albemarle is continuity of employment. Not surprisingly, our long-term relationships often lead to Interims being placed again and again. Over 60% of our interim managers have worked on at least three Albemarle assignments.

Albemarle Interim Events

Enabling our interim managers to meet and exchange ideas with peers from the Albemarle Interim community, and keep up with the latest business trends and legislation, we arrange a number of events during the year, including: dinners, forums, seminars, as well as sports and other social events.

Setting yourself up as an Interim Manager

All Albemarle interim managers operate as Limited Companies. This widely accepted industry practice brings professional credibility and differentiates you from the typical temporary worker or sole practitioner.

With Limited Company status, however, come professional responsibilities. In particular, the obligation to commit to, and comply in full with, the objectives and terms of any interim contract you agree to undertake. This in turn provides security for our mutual clients, and helps make 'the interim option' increasingly more attractive to them, helping to secure more repeat business.

As the managing director of your own Limited Company, you will need to draw up business plans and marketing strategies, arrange professional indemnity inssurance, and perhaps engage the services of an accountant.

To help you prepare to win assignments, we can help you develop a professional résumé specifically for interim applications, and provide guidance on interview techniques for interim posts.

In addition, you may find the independent guidance offered by the Interim Management Association helpful – visit www.interimmanagement.uk.com
