INTERIM MANAGEMENT: A SERIOUS PROFESSION
Practice Development Those earning their livings from Interim Management need support in developing their practices and their skill sets. The Interim Management lifestyle does not always follow traditional employment patterns and needs and opportunities are different. We recognise that some will see the offering of services and products for sale as not being part of the Interim Management process. We understand this view. But we also see another dimension. The future of work is changing hugely. It is important to us at Russam GMS to be seen as active and helpful in that process.

On this page you will see various links each with a different product type description. If you click on any of these links you will see a description of the current offering or our plans for developing the same or other offerings. This will then lead you towards individual companies with whom we are working and will indicate how contact can be made.

Whilst we have been careful and very selective in inviting participants, we cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage that might arise out of business transactions resulting from contacts made, however, we do invite comment from whatever direction relating to the appropriateness and quality of the services/products in order to enable us to work at continuously improving this part of our services to Interim Managers registered with us.

Monday to Fridaymondaytofriday.com

mondaytofriday offers a real alternative to long commutes and lengthy stays in expensive, soulless hotels. This website is dedicated to helping people find comfortable, convenient and reasonably priced Monday to Friday homes throughout the UK.

All you do is log on and search for a room close to your work. And once you’ve found one (or many) that interest you, you can make contact with the owner by email.

mondaytofriday owners want their homes to themselves at weekends and will therefore charge you less than for full-week lodging. Perfect for both parties.

Have a look at the website and become one of a growing number of mondaytofridayers enjoying home comforts and the convenience of a place to stay near work.
