Commercial Directors (Part-time)
A part-time resource with all the benefits of a full-time employee without the cost and risk
Every MD/CEO we have ever met is too busy, to an unhealthy level. What they need, more than anything else, is someone (operating at Director level) to drive growth and support you take the company to the next level.
This is exactly what a part-time outsourced Commercial Director can deliver for you. They will also ease your time pressures, support your manager’s step up, and can be pulled in for additional days if needed on specific projects or grant applications for example.
This is a cost-effective, flexible resource, that provides you with a trusted third party you can speak with about anything. Based in your office they quickly become part of your team, join the dots, and drive growth.
Are you experiencing growing pains?
Just because you are still a small business should not be a barrier to getting the correct expertise you need, so that you can get past those growing pains you are feeling. These growing pains may include:
Direction – Where is your company going, what is it your customers want and what do you want? How will this translate into how your company operates and what your team does in the future?
Growth – What should your focus on for growth in the future? Is it about increasing revenues, building asset value, or reducing costs that give you greater profits?
Execution – What is it you need to do to deliver the future you want and in what order do you do things? How do you manage this change and make the future more predictable?
Team – Your team is growing and some have now stepped up to management positions. However, they are unsure what that involves. They need help and guidance to continue growing your company.
Pivot – If you keep doing what you have always done competitors will overtake you. You don’t want to pivot/change and don’t know how to innovate.
Time – As your company has grown you have employed staff to help out. Despite the new hires, there is still too much on your plate and the overwhelm is disheartening and frustrating.

How does your part-time Commercial Director compare?
Outsourced Commercial Director
Your part-time outsourced Commercial Director comes with an objective eye as they are separate from your team/company and provide constructive challenges to processes. They can flex to provide extra support as you need it and they come with lots of different experiences that can bring innovative thinking and solutions.
You only pay them for the work they do. As you get busier you can easily increase their time or as you get quieter you can reduce it, and there are no recruitment fees.
Employed Commercial Director
With a full-time employed Commercial Director you must provide them with full-time work, PAYE, holiday entitlement, sick pay and supply them with resources like a car, laptop, and mobile, not to mention all the other oncosts and a £100K+ salary.
Longer-term you may have legal obligations around unfair dismissal, statutory redundancy pay, statutory maternity/paternity leave and you will be expected to provide them with training and personal development.
