Since the onslaught of the recent economic crisis, the identification of strong commercial management together with robust pertinent managerial responses to organisational decline has become increasingly important. Furthermore, response strategies have become an important method of dealing with turbulent environments and are one of the most important decisions that senior management must make.
The strength of commercial management processes and procedures within a business is invariably the difference between success and failure and this has never been more the case than in the last 24-months.
The rapid increase in the rate of inflation together with the pressure on the supply chain owing to global supply shortages is providing for a market of unprecedented commercial challenges.
Having provided robust commercial support to many of our clients throughout this period and following ongoing demand in respect of the same, we have become acutely aware of the ongoing demand for such services.
In response to this demand, we are pleased to announce the introduction of our Commercial and Operational Turnaround Service which aims to support new and existing clients in crisis management and turnaround.
The division is led by Kelly Taylor and supports small to medium sized businesses within the Construction, Highways and Utilities sectors.
