1. Interim Management
JQ RSims interim management service provides high caliber supply chain and logistics managers to clients in a wide range of industries. Interim Management complements our consultancy offering. Interim managers are ideally suited to implementing business or process change and providing additional specialist resource for a specific project. They are also suited to provide cover for absence or additional resource at a time of peak activity. Whereas a consultancy project is more likely to be clearly defined and to determine a strategy or plan, the interim manager is better placed to implement it, working within the clients’ team for a period of time. Working in-house, the Interim Manager is an integral part of the team, aligned only to the clients’ objectives and without the restraint of politics or long term positioning. They are adept at delivering quickly and from a standing start.

The need for an interim manager usually arises at short notice, and in 75% of cases the operational management performs the sourcing of the Interim Manager rather than the usual HR processes. The challenge of good interim management provision is to deliver the individual with the required skills and experience within a short time frame.

JQ RSims knowledge of the logistics and supply chain market enables us to fully understand your requirement and advise you on it. Both in terms of the specification for the role and who would be best suited to it. Our comprehensive network of candidates and contacts in the industry means we are able to provide you with the right candidate quickly and efficiently. | top

2. Fleet Management
The structure and services of the fleet management industry have undergone rapid change in recent years forcing both the users and providers of these services to re-evaluate their approach to the financing and operational support of their fleets.

Many users faced with an unprecedented range of options have had to re-evaluate both how they finance vehicles and how they provide operational support. Not an easy task given the considerable difference in the elements included within a service package, the complexity involved in achieving a 'like for like' financial comparison, particularly when comparing in-house versus outsourcing of operational support. And not forgetting of course the tax and cash flow implications of the different options available.

JQ RSims consultants have, for many years, been assisting both the providers and users of fleet management services to develop and implement fleet management strategies, and have real hands on practical experience from working on both sides of the industry. The advice provided by JQ RSims is impartial, practical and designed to meet your own particular circumstances. Whether you decide to operate your own in-house support or outsource JQ RSims can add real value. | top

3. Mergers, Acquisitions & Disposals
Acquisitions take place for a variety of strategic reasons including widening of the operational base, leveraging increased market strength or seeking to improve efficiency. Conversely, companies wishing to focus on their core business often seek to dispose of their non-core activities. JQ RSims’s knowledge of the distribution and supply industry provides organizations with the means to achieve successful acquisition or disposal, specifically tailored to meet your needs at each stage of the process.
