Project Delivery · UK-wide
Experienced leadership for important projects and change.
Sometimes an important project needs somebody experienced to take ownership of it and get it delivered.
I work with businesses across the UK on projects, programmes and business change where senior delivery experience is needed without waiting for a permanent hire.
That might be a new transformation programme, an existing project that needs stronger leadership, a systems change or a piece of work that has started to drift.
Work can be remote, on-site or a combination of both.
From £75 an hour or £450 a day, plus VAT. Remote, on-site, or the mix that suits the programme.

Project Delivery
What I can help deliver
Most assignments start with one clear need. These are the eight I am asked for most often.
M&A operational readiness
M&A support before and after a deal
I support the operational side of transactions before and after completion, from preparing a business for diligence to reviewing a target and helping deliver the integration plan.
- 01
Sell-side readiness
6 to 24 months out
Prepare the operation for diligence by documenting the operating model, mapping key processes, reducing key-person dependency, clarifying contracts and recurring revenue, and building the operational material needed for the data room.
The aim is to give buyers a clear view of how the business operates and reduce avoidable surprises during diligence.
- 02
Buy-side diligence
before contracts
Review the target's operational maturity alongside the financial diligence, including cost, risk, people dependency, culture, systems and processes, then produce a draft hundred-day plan.
The buyer gets a clearer operational view before signing and a stronger basis for integration planning.
- 03
Post-deal integration
day one onwards
After completion, I can lead the hundred-day plan, track agreed synergies, bring operating models together, oversee systems work where required and keep the people and communication side moving.
The aim is a controlled integration with clear measures, retained capability and a clean handover to permanent leadership.
Sell-side and buy-side work is £900 a day. Post-deal integration is usually scoped over three to nine months, with retainers of £3,250, £4,950 or £6,250 a month depending on the days required. Tax, legal and broker work is handled by the relevant specialists.

In their words
The speed at which Jez got himself up to speed with an in-flight project was impressive.
He demonstrated authority, and his experience of working in a regulated environment was particularly important to the success of the project.
