Our History in UK

EIM’s London office was opened in London in 1988. We are a leading player in the field of interim management in the UK, operating exclusively at the highest levels of management responsibility. EIM London is a run by a team of five professionals, each of us having been a senior business manager in his earlier career. We work as a close-knit team, but each of us is capable of managing the entire business process, from winning a new assignment, identifying the right person to do the job, and managing that assignment through to completion.

EIM London has managed about 400 assignments. We start about 40 new ones each year. On average each assignment lasts about 8 months. Over the past five years, around half of our assignments have been for chief executives and/or finance directors. The rest cover all the other functional disciplines, usually operating at Board level.

EIM London works for large and small companies, national and international, quoted or private, service or manufacturing. We also do work in the public sector. Our policy has been to avoid industry or functional specialisation except in the case of corporate turnaround or business recovery, where specialist skills are needed.

Over the years, EIM London has built a team of tried and tested interim managers, many of whom have done several different assignments with us. For quality assurance reasons, we try to keep this team as small as possible. We also refresh the team and train new members in performance matters.
