What do interim managers do?
The use of interim managers is increasing across the UK and Europe. Interim managers are a select group who go into companies to either deal with a particular situation, to sort out specific problems or to cover a specific project, the latter of which is the situation with Kincell at DavyMarkham. He is at DavyMarkham to boost sales and orders.
DavyMarkham has been working at the Agnico-Eagle mine, the largest gold mine in Canada, to refurbish and produce parts for a double drum hoist. “This is a typical project for DavyMarkham,” he says. “The company has a lot of experience in this type of heavy engineering and a lot of very experienced people. This just goes to show that a career in mining need not involve going down deep holes in the ground – there is a great deal of other heavy engineering involved.”
As an interim manager, what is his current role?
Kincell’s current role is to strengthen the company and make sure it is geared to the demands of the market and is efficient and competitive. The company is now very strong in the mine and tunnelling sector, being one of the top three manufacturers of tunnelling equipment worldwide.
Kincell says, “The company is very unique with a massive amount of skill in its chosen sectors and now the management team, including myself and the managing director, have been able to use our experience to point it in the right direction to pick up lucrative and prestigious contracts.”
