Interim & Management Consulting

We lead the business —
until yours can again.

Gryphon Partners places senior interim leaders and runs management consulting engagements for organisations navigating change, growth, or crisis — then leaves the business stronger than it found us.

Our Position

We exist for the interval — the gap between a business's ambition and its current bench strength. We fill it with operators who have run P&Ls, closed integrations, and turned around underperforming sites, not with slideware. We measure ourselves by what still works after we've gone.

Articles of Engagement

Four ways we take the weight off your organisation.

I.

Interim Leadership

A managing director, COO, or plant manager in post within weeks, not quarters — accountable for outcomes, not observations, from the first Monday.

II.

Operational Turnaround

We work the shop floor and the ledgers together to fix throughput, cost, and service — then teach your team to hold the gains after we leave.

III.

Strategic Advisory

Board-level counsel on growth, restructuring, and portfolio decisions, built on operating experience rather than frameworks alone.

IV.

Change & Integration

We run the programme through mergers, system changes, and site consolidations so your leadership stays focused on running the business.

Available Now

Three roles we place most often.

Interim / On-Site Most Placed

Interim Head of Operations

Our most-requested placement — full-time operational leadership for a single site or business unit while you recruit permanently, or while we turn the operation around.

  • Day-to-day ownership of production, safety, and service
  • Stabilises the operation within the first 30 days
  • Builds and coaches the team that inherits the role
  • Bridges the gap between a departure and a permanent hire
Typically full-time, on-site, for three to nine months.
Fractional / Remote

Commercial Director

Senior revenue leadership without a full-time hire — pricing, pipeline, and key accounts run by someone who has carried the number before.

  • Sales pipeline and forecasting rebuilt around real data
  • Pricing and margin discipline across the customer base
  • Key account and channel strategy
  • Coaching and hiring for the commercial team you keep
Typically 2–3 days a week, remote or hybrid, from three months.
Fractional / Remote

Operations Director

Hands-on operational command — throughput, cost, and supply chain run by someone who has stood on the floor, not just reviewed the deck.

  • Production throughput and service-level recovery
  • Supply chain and inventory discipline
  • Cost-out and efficiency programmes
  • Operations team structure, hiring, and succession
Typically 2–3 days a week, remote or hybrid, from three months.

How We Work

Every engagement ends. We plan for that on day one.

Diagnose

Two weeks on-site with your data and your people, before we propose anything.

Deploy

The right operator in the room within fifteen working days on average.

Deliver

Weekly, measurable movement against the numbers that matter — not a status deck.

Depart

A defined exit agreed from day one, and a team that no longer needs us.
