Consultancy and Interim Management

---

PennSource helps  transform performance by supplying senior leadership experience to companies going through transformation, change and integration, often as a result of a distressed purchase or significant new investment in growth, or to steady the ship whilst a new key hire is found. 

Our team have experience in FMCG and Service Industries from Blue Chip through to PE/Privately owned companies. We work hard to understand businesses by getting under the skin of the organisations we work with, asking smart and often challenging questions to understand the problem they are trying to solve or the results they require, then going on to deliver innovative solutions. 

On an interim management basis we can provide leadership to a business to lead the change, and rather than just consult to provide solutions, we can also put the resource in place to deliver the results. We have considerable experience of project based roles, from delivery of mergers, rapid growth, recovery of distressed businesses to business transformation, and in our ability to draw upon hands-on expertise in sales, retail operations, S&OP, logistics, services and technology with CEO and board level leadership makes us stand out in offering clients a “full business” perspective that few others can match.  

Our senior conslutants have the breadth of expertise to deliver strategic planning support across a wide range of functions, right up to and including full business strategies.

Well versed in strategy development processes, we can deliver training or a workshop, or facilitate, consult on or deliver a strategy for your business or function, and help turn it into tactics and an action plan that will deliver.

With our interim leadership experience we can go on to delivering the appropriate organisational design, restructuring, roles and responsibilities, development centres, training, KPIS and reporting to ensure that strategies are embedded and results measured.

PennSource have delivered results in areas such as Growing the Top Line, Being the Lowest Cost Producer, Buying Better, Developing New Business, New Product Development, Quality and Health and Safety.

With a demonstrable track record in successful whole business transformation, as well as industry recognition for logistics and sales transformation our consultants make us the prefect choice for your business whether early stage, rapid growth or in a turnaround environment.
