INTERIM COMMERCIAL RESOURCE ONLY WORKS WHEN QUALITY IS ASSURED
By Ian Brazier – MD at Adeo Global Consulting Ltd

For Commercial Directors in the civils and infrastructure sector, interim support is rarely about headcount.
It’s about risk, assurance and outcomes.
When commercial resource is brought in mid-project, often at pace, the real question isn’t “Can you supply someone?” — it’s “Can I trust them to protect the commercial position of the business?”

At Adeo Global Consulting Ltd, we believe quality in interim commercial support comes from structure, not chance.

That means:
• Clear leadership and accountability from day one
• Fully managed interim resource, not isolated individuals
• Professionals deployed with the right experience, not just availability
• Transparent, two-way communication aligned to project and business priorities

Quality, in this context, is doing what we commit to, and doing it consistently.
Every engagement is overseen by a dedicated client lead who remains accountable throughout the commission. Performance is reviewed, feedback is actively sought, and lessons learned are embedded into how we operate. When issues arise, they are addressed early, openly and professionally.
In a sector where commercial decisions directly affect margin, claims exposure and delivery certainty, interim support must reduce risk, not introduce it.

That’s why we focus on:
• Competent, commercially astute professionals
• Fully IR35-compliant, permanently employed teams
• A managed service model that integrates seamlessly with client organisations
• Continuous improvement driven by real project feedback

Interim commercial resource should strengthen governance, provide confidence, and allow Commercial Directors to focus on strategic delivery — knowing the detail is in safe hands.
QUALITY ASSURANCE ISN’T AN ADD-ON. IT’S THE FOUNDATION.
