Interim Managing Director, Alumasc Water Management Solutions
The Client
Alumasc Water Management Solutions, part of Alumasc Group, supplies integrated rainwater management and drainage products for the built environment. Its specialist product ranges are used across construction and infrastructure projects.
Success depends on reliable operations, technical product knowledge, effective distribution and strong customer relationships.
The Requirement
During a leadership transition, Alumasc needed an interim Managing Director with the experience to lead a specialist building products business. The role had to balance commercial performance with manufacturing and operational execution.
The interim needed to engage confidently with senior managers, understand the market and set clear priorities. Decisions could not be delayed in the meantime.
The Solution
Managing directors and senior operating executives from building products, manufacturing and related business-to-business markets made up Novo’s shortlist, sourced through our interim management network.
Consideration was given to:
- Full profit and loss responsibility
- Sales channel management
- Operational improvement
- Leadership across multiple functions
- The ability to assess a business quickly
We also looked for evidence that candidates could work constructively with an established management team.
The Outcome
Novo appointed an interim Managing Director who established leadership continuity. Commercial and operational priorities stayed on track through the transition, and the management team had clear direction to work to.
