Interim managers are public servants at heart. So are we. That’s why how we support you goes beyond placements — it’s built on shared values. Voting opens 1 April. Share your experience. #LocalGov #InterimLeadership #IIMSurvey2026 #IIMSurvey

“Would you mind just giving me your advice?” We hear it all the time. And the answer is always: absolutely. Because it’s not just about placements — it’s about being a trusted partner, every step of the way. #LocalGov #InterimLeadership #IIMSurvey2026 #IIMSurvey

Reflecting on #InternationalWomensDay last week, Kath O’Dwyer — Chair of Solace and former Chief Exec of St Helens MBC — shares one practical action for leaders: Identify one female colleague at each level of your organisation. Ask about their ambitions. Help make it happen.
