As the UK Manufacturing and Engineering sectors continue to grow there has been a marked increase and interest in the use of Interim Managers to help overcome a range of short term issues across a broad sector of the manufacturing community.
At the top of this list has been a real demand for Operations Directors working for businesses looking to streamline systems and processes to improve throughput efficiency and OTIF delivery.
Simon Roberts, who heads up Jonathan Lee Interim Management, comments: The resurgence of manufacturing in the UK, on-shoring initiatives and increased consumer demand have created an exciting environment for professional Interim Managers. This is particularly so within the SME sector who need to tap into expertise at short notice for short durations.
Simon adds: UK Manufacturing has some excellent well trained and developed Senior Managers. The present stock of professional Interim Managers within manufacturing have lived and worked through a huge manufacturing transformation that has taken place in the UK.The introduction of Japanese transplants such as, Toyota, Nissan and Honda has undoubtedly had an impact in improving productivity and quality. When you combine the practical experience of working in these lean environments and the high level of post graduate training available in the UK you can see why we currently have a real wealth of Interim and Senior Management talent.
