Malcolm has himself had ten years experience as a successful interim manager, specialising in turnaround situations, including the rescue of a major global logistics group, and the restructuring of several companies experiencing major change.

He established his own business recruiting and placing interims, as Beverley Management Services, in the 1990s, before expanding to create and develop Interregna into a major player as a provider of quality interim managers.

As a qualified accountant and former finance director, Malcolm’s earlier career puts him a very strong position to understand companies' needs and find just the right match for each appointment.

In 1990, as the first CFO of the Vestey Group, Malcolm negotiated a three-year standstill on £400m of debt with 70 banks. At Diageo/Grand Metropolitan, he managed their substantial M&A activity, having previously controlled Brooke Bond's overseas operations. After gaining a first class degree in agricultural economics from London University, he joined PricewaterhouseCoopers and was responsible for major consulting assignments.

Malcolm also has several years experience on the Executive of the Interim Management Association, supporting chairman Paul Botting in the IMA’s mission of delivering interim management of the highest quality and standards. At the IMA he has followed three years' financial stewardship as Treasurer with three years as Director of External Affairs.

Malcolm is also one of the founding Trustees of The Tutu Foundation UK, which was set up in 2007 to ensure that Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s work of truth and reconciliation continues.

Having a strong track record as a Managing Director and Brand Manager, Hilary understands how companies work and get things done. She also has great insight into the cultural needs of a business.

Hilary has worked successfully as an interim manager and consultant for over 12 years, so she really understands the benefits to be gained from interim management and is committed to helping Interregna’s clients find the right solution for them.
