Business performance improvement

I am connecting you with Nick, who set me off on my interim management career - I have a lot to be thankful for.

INTERIM CFO, WHO SUCCESSFULLY SOLD A BROADCAST COMPANY

Nick not only takes time to carefully consider the skills and experience necessary for successful delivery of the client’s brief, but also the cultural fit and styles of both parties.

DAVID KITTMER, INTERIM FINANCE DIRECTOR

Nick is fantastic at maintaining relationships over the long term and has been a great sounding board over the twenty years since he first placed me in a role.

BEN WRIGHT, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

In this rapidly changing economy, interim executives can provide a fast injection of quality expertise just when it's needed.

RICHARD LAMBERT, FORMER DIRECTOR-GENERAL, CBI

Nick was so helpful at the start of the assignment, giving me useful advice. I hope for the opportunity of working with Holdsway again in the near future.
