Financial Services Practice wins two major new accounts

I am delighted to announce that in recent weeks the Financial Services Practice at Interim Partners has been awarded a substantial contract with RSA to supply interim change professionals for the next 2 years.

RSA is a FTSE 100 insurance business with £6.5bn of annual premium income and they are implementing large scale transformation programmes during 2010. The contract commenced on 4th January and will focus on the supply of Business Analysts, Project Managers and Programme Managers. This contract award represents a major step forward for our company and hopefully a significant boost for the Change sector of the interim market which faced head winds during 2009.

We have also signed an agreement to become a preferred supplier of interim resources to Lloyds Banking Group. The size of the integration and disposal programme created in the merger between Lloyds and HBOS last year will undoubtedly be a catalyst for interim management demand. This agreement is also is effective from 4th January and will be a meaningful addition to our stable of leading financial services clients including Aviva, Prudential, Aegon, Bradford & Bingley, Bupa Insurance and Royal Liver.

December proved to be a very productive month and I placed 7 interim managers, 5 of which were in the week before Christmas. My team has picked up 5 new assignments in the first 3 working days of January so early indications are that by next Christmas we will deserve a well earned rest!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all those within the Interim Partners’ network a very happy and prosperous new year.

Andrew McIntee is Head of the Financial Services Practice of Interim Partners.
