A word from Bill Tipping - Specialist Advisor - Public Sector

"As a former head of Procurement at the Department for Business, Enterprise and regulatory reform (DBERR, previously known as the DTI), I understand the resource challenges and budgetary constraints you face. I know that it is not uncommon to have to deliver large-scale projects to tight deadlines, without the capacity to hire additional permanent staff to undertake them.

For these reasons, more government departments are turning to Interim Managers as a solution to their resource requirements. In 2005/6 OGC.buying Solutions estimated that the public sector market for Interim Managers was worth £180 million a year. It seems that this rising demand for Interims is being driven by the need to cut costs and to recruit dynamic individuals to drive change and manage critical projects."


Jill Griggs, Interim Business Change manager, Ministry of Justice

“Having the ability to understanding the intricacies of public sector processes is critical for any Interim Manager, as we are employed to deliver from day one – there isn’t a grace period. I relish the challenge of taking on big strategic projects because I love learning new things and am good at seeing the bigger picture. What’s more, I now prefer working in the public sector as opposed to a commercial organisation as I feel like I am giving something back.”


Fiona Tordoff, Department for Communities and Local Government

“One of my strengths as an Interim Manager was my impartiality. I had a totally independent outlook which helped me gain the trust of representatives of the different national and regional offices. I also have a great deal of experience managing large scale events and projects and importantly, I understand how groups work. I really enjoy the challenge of getting to the heart of the issue; if a group starts to have heated debates, that is when I feel like I am tackling the problem and this is what my work is all about.”
